Description

Approximately two years ago the City redirected traffic to clear congestion on Fordham Rd, the offset has been additional traffic flow on along Father Zeiser Place, between Sedgwick and University Ave. Unfortunately, the vehicles travel through this narrow residential street at high rates of speed creating a safety issue for the area. This street is adjacent to an active city park utilized by small children and elderly throughout the day. There are no traffic control devices between Webb and University, approximately 1000ft of road, which allows the vehicles to pickup excessive speed on this street . One or two speed bumps positioned throughout this strip would slow down drivers creating a much safer environment and possibly eliminating a future tragedy.
As the weather gets warmer the park usage will increase by all necessitaing the urgency of this safety issue.

Thank you for your attention,
