Currently, Dwasline is the only main through-street in the Rosemawr area. Changing Dwasline to a one-way street will create serious issues for the residents who live on the many surrounding streets. Garfield Avenue and Virginia Avenue (and all the surrounding blocks) will undoubtedly become the alternate route for those who would have driven down Dwasline to access Brook Avenue.
Garfield Avenue, Allwood Place, and Pine Brae lack sidewalks in many places, and increasing traffic will be very dangerous for the entire area, as it is a block that is used by many pedestrians from the surrounding streets. Garfield Avenue is a main pedestrian road used by the residents on Virginia Avenue, Laurel Avenue, and Heights Street, including many children.
This will also have a major affect on streets such as Edgewood, Cresthill, Lenox, and other streets which will now become a thoroughfare to access Passaic Avenue. This action will make all of these much busier streets.
This also poses a safety threat for the children, adults, and many senior citizens who walk down these blocks and its vicinity. As it is, there are inadequate sidewalks and many drivers speed down Clifton's streets.
It is important to petition this change to Dwasline because it will severely impact our safety and the safety of our neighborhood. Dwasline must remain a two-way street in order to maintain the quiet and safe nature of our neighborhood.

I have been walking these streets every single day and the fear in our neighbors' eyes is real. City planners think this is just lines on a map but they are forgetting about the children who walk to school on these sidewalks. We are gathering documentation of current traffic patterns to show exactly why this proposal is a recipe for disaster.

Seeing this groundswell of support proves that I am not alone in my fear for the safety of the kids and seniors on our streets. This momentum shows that our neighborhood refuses to let these dangerous traffic changes destroy the quiet character of our homes.

leave it alone. nobody asked for this and it will ruin every quiet street in the neighborhood just to save someone a minute of driving.
Total disaster waiting to happen. The amount of cars they want to funnel onto Garfield is crazy.
Fix the potholes instead of messing with the traffic flow. This just creates more problems for people who live here honestly.
This is ridiculous. Dwasline is packed as it is, redirecting all that traffic to the side streets is just gonna cause an accident sooner or later.
bad idea. keep the traffic on the main road where it belongs.

My kids walk on Pine Brae every single day to get to school. If traffic increases on those narrow roads they wont even have room to walk safely!!!!
