Petition to One-Way Street and install Speed Bumps at Reeve Place

Petição dirigida a: Department of Trasportation

Request for Traffic Safety Improvements on Reeve Place.

Dear Community Board 7,

We, the undersigned residents of Reeve Place, respectfully request the installation of speed bumps and the designation of Reeve Place as a one-way street.

Our request is driven by the increasing volume of high-speed, heavy-truck traffic on our narrow residential street. Reeve Place is frequently used as a shortcut to bypass traffic lights on Greenwood Avenue and cut in front of cars turning onto Prospect Park West South from Vanderbilt Street, creating unsafe traffic congestion conditions for motorists, pedestrians, children, and cyclists alike who are turning onto Reeve Place from PPWS. These conditions pose a significant safety risk and negatively impact the quality of life in our neighborhood. We believe that implementing speed bumps and one-way traffic restrictions would effectively mitigate these hazards and enhance safety for all who live, walk, and travel in the area.

Thank you for your attention to this important matter. We kindly ask that the Board consider our petition and take appropriate action at the earliest opportunity. We are available to provide additional information or discuss this request further.

Sincerely,
Zulema Mejias & Vivian Jackson

On behalf of the Residents of Reeve Place (three consecutive streets)
