Description
There are many cars that speed through the STOP sign located on Ford and Sussex. This is a neighborhood with a lot of pedestrians, many of them seniors. There have been accidents at this intersection and our cars have been side swiped many times. The neighborhood is asking for speed bumps to be installed so as to prevent further accidents. We are willing to provide signatures from the neighborhood to support our request. Thank you very much

- Staff · February 12, 2024The focused approach on speed management in the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management Program first considers the distance of a free flow street of at least 1200’ in length in a tangent section without traffic signals, existing traffic calming measures or stopped conditions on the major street. Speed tables are not planned on Ford Ave given the all-way stops at three intersections between Fairfield Way and Mechanicville Turnpike.
