Description
Thanks to the NEIGHBORS who spearheaded the effort to get THREE speedbumps installed on Greenwich Ave! And thank you, City of #NHV for FINALLY listening to taxpayers and installing them.
This was a grassroots effort by several folks who live on Greenwich Ave. For their privacy, I’m not mentioning names, but all of us who live on or near Greenwich Ave. thank you!
(Speedbump pictured is between Second & Third Streets.)

So I'd recommend that you not go faster than 20 MPH on Greenwich Avenue.
(I watched traffic here for a few minutes, and drivers figured this out rather quickly...)

Thanks for sharing Chris. I am curious to learn more. We tried to get them for south water and sea streets. We had over 100 signatures of support to go with our Complete Street Application, including support from Sound School and, at the time, the Sage Restaurant.
We were told that, based on traffic counts and recorded traffic speeds we don't qualify. I'd love to know what you and your neighbors did to push it through.
Please share!

When they were installing the Greenwich Ave speedbumps several days ago, a neighbor told me that Hallock Ave (approx. between First and Fourth?) is getting them next and that the city's immediate goal is to have them on the streets that run parallel to major thoroughfares like Howard (i.e. not on Howard itself but on Greenwich and Hallock Ave).
So if the immediate goal does not include cross streets, then 'perhaps' that is the REAL reason why Sea and S. Water St. did not qualify?
