safer roads and reducing excessive speeding on Gedney St and surrounding avenues
Hello, Lower Nyack neighbors!
I am writing to you with the hope that we can take part and advocate for safer street conditions down on Gedney Street. I spoke to the members of the Nyack Village Hall about my concerns around excessive speeding in this area ( Gedney, 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th avenues) and what a danger it has become for residents living here. They have asked that we submit a letter to their next town meeting, which occurs on November 14th, with a request for the installment of speed bumps on all mentioned streets so that our neighborhood can be a safer place to walk and drive.
I have attached a pre-written letter for those who want to participate…..all you have to do is sign it and email it back to me. If that’s too complicated, I can also come and pick it up for your convenience!! The more signatures we have, the stronger the case we can make! Let’s make Gedney Street safe again!!!!!!😊
Thanks for your time and consideration!

Why is this important?
To the members of the Nyack Village Hall:
I am writing on behalf of continuous speeding issues happening on Gedney Street, as well as main St, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Street leading down to Gedney Street. I myself had a specific incident recently when a car came very close to hitting my dog and me while speeding down Fourth Avenue. I am pleased to see that new 25 mph signs were put up on Gedney, but the real truth is no one who is a reckless driver is going to pay attention to these signs. I am proposing that speed bumps be considered, as well as other helpful speed slowing techniques, such as narrowing Gedney Street and giving us the sidewalk we so desperately need, crossing lanes ( like the ones on Main St) and putting up electrical police signs that monitors speed on these roads.
I have spoken to other neighbors who agree that the reckless driving in this area is getting out of hand. And with so few sidewalks, it makes it much more dangerous to walk on the road. I wanted to make this proposal to you with the hopes that the village will pay closer attention to what is happening in our community and make it safer for everyone. I am hoping to provide you with signatures from my neighbors to show unison around the changes we need. I am hoping my neighbors and I can advocate and participate to make the same changes possible.
Again, thank you for your time and consideration on this important issue. I think we all want Nyack to remain a vibrant and safe place to reside.
Sincerely,
Erica Sobel and neighbors of Nyack
