Windsor Terrace Safe Streets, via Lisa Perlmutter, has reported the latest news on Windsor Terrace's proposed speed humps.
Community Board 7 (CB 7) announced during its monthly meeting this evening (Wednesday, October 21st) that the Department of Transportation (DOT) has postponed its proposal for fifteeen speed humps in Windsor Terrace.
The DOT has decided to conduct a more complete study of the entire area to include consideration for stop lights, stop signs, two- to one-way traffic routing, and other traffic calming measures. The timing of the study is to be decided; CB 7 will contact the DOT to request this information.
It was also shared that had a vote been called, voting would have been for the humps proposed for Vanderbilt Street and Seeley Street between Prospect Avenue and Prospect Park Southwest, as those blocks demonstrated the most consensus and support for the humps.
Lastly, it was also shared that the DOT has a backlog of over 140 humps, so had the humps been approved, it would have been at least two years until installation anyway.
Windsor Terrace Safe Streets applauds the DOT's responsiveness to the community's desire for comprehensive and appropriate traffic calming measures and looks forward to their prompt completion of the study with their recommendations.
