We, the undersigned Jefferson Road commuters and employees, customers, visitors, residents and business owners in the Clover/Jefferson area appeal to the NYS Department of Transportation to expedite the traffic signal and lane improvements at the Tobey Village Road/Jefferson Road intersection.
As confirmed by numerous traffic studies going back to 2004, the intersection is dangerous, especially during the AM and PM peak periods, with upwards of 20,000 vehicles per day passing through it. It will only become more of a safety issue due to increased development activity in the immediate area, e.g. a new Southeast YMCA facility.

The NYS Department of Transportation continues to ignore the pileup of accidents at this intersection while they sit on reports from years ago. Their stubborn refusal to act is going to get someone killed.

The NYS Department of Transportation has ignored this deadly intersection for decades but the massive momentum behind this petition proves they can no longer hide. We have reached a point where they are forced to pay attention to the danger they continue to enable.

I have worked in the Tobey Village Office Park since 1980. It has become very busy over the years. There have been numerous accidents and overturned cars at the Jefferson Rd entrance to Tobey Village. NEED A LIGHT!
Exiting onto Jefferson Road from Tobey Village became much more dangerous after the expansion of the Jefferson Road/Clover Street intersection. The right lanes are now passing lanes with many cars blowing through the intersection (and red lights) in excess of 60mph. Adding traffic from the YMCA will make this unsafe intersection much worse.
I work in Tobey Village Office Park and actively avoid this intersection, especially during the rush hours. It is already unsafe and will become even more dangerous once construction begins on the YMCA going in across the street. This intersection desperately needs a traffic signal.
I have worked at this location for 11 years and drive from Irondequoit every day. Because of the sightline from Jefferson and the speed of the traffic, this is by far the most dangerous intersection in the commute at any time of day. It needs a traffic signal now.
I agree, it is only a matter of time before there is a terrible accident at the entrance to Tobey Village Office Park from Jefferson Road. This will only become more of a hazard when large, slow moving construction vehicles begin moving through this section of Jefferson Road and anxious drivers attempt to circumvent them without visibility.
The intersection needs to be improved asap
I have seen way too many accidents at this intersection over my 17 years working in this office complex.

This intersection of Tobey Village Road and Jefferson Road needs a traffic light now, even before the building of the new YMCA. People working in the Tobey Village Office Park have great difficulty in turning onto Jefferson road, whether it is a right hand turn or left hand turn onto Jefferson. The traffic light at Clover and Jefferson is no help with this. It doesn't help matters that drivers go higher than the already high speed limit on Jefferson. Traffic light now please!!
