Petition to New York City Department of Transportation
Speed Reducers for Union Street
Decision Makers:
New York City Department of Transportation
Dear neighbors,
We are asking the New York City Department of Transportation to evaluate Union Street for the installation of speed reducers, including speed humps or bumps, so our block can be safer for everyone who lives, walks, bikes, and drives here.
As neighbors, we have all experienced the danger of speeding on our block. Too many vehicles move through Union Street too fast, making it harder for people to cross safely and creating a constant risk for children, older adults, and anyone simply trying to get home. Speeding also makes our street feel less calm and less welcoming for the community that depends on it every day.
We believe Union Street deserves the same attention and care as any residential block where people should be able to move around without fear. Speed reducers are a practical, proven way to slow traffic and help prevent crashes before they happen. They do not solve every traffic problem, but they can make a real difference in everyday safety.
By signing this petition, we are showing support for our application to the New York City Department of Transportation for speed reducers on Union Street. We want action that reflects what we already know from daily life on this block: speeding is a persistent problem, and it needs a real response.
Please sign this petition to help make Union Street safer for the whole neighborhood.

Sandwiched between two high congestion corridors (Rogers Ave and Nostrand Ave) - morning and night our block experiences dangerous speeding by agitated drivers. We are surrounded by daycares and a high school. We need speed reducers to improve safety on the block!
There are lots of small and elderly people on the block and every day there is a litany of speeding cars racing down the block, morning and night.
Safety is an important issue for everyone. We have lots of young children on our block, also dogs and elderly (I’m 80) and we don’t want anyone to be hit by a car that is going too fast to stop in time if a living being steps out onto the road.
Cars rip through this street at dangerous speeds much too often.
as a resident of this street i am concerned with the safety of pedestrians and pets on this block
To keep our children on the block safe
Please help us reduce crazy speeding down our block!

We need a speed bump to mitigate speeders on our block, where a lot of children live!
