Spruce Street Residents and Neighbors Petition

Living on Spruce Street has become quite dangerous. Between cars, buses, heavy trucks, motorcycles, we literally fear for our own lives every time we leave our houses. Especially on week-ends, the intense traffic coming from nearly four different directions has made it quite difficult to live here. And let us not forget the racing motorcycles and loud radio playing at 2:00 AM. My family has lived here for nearly 30 years. We love our neighborhood and have continued to pay the increasingly high real estate taxes(Probably the highest in the city) Please give us some consideration. Thank you!

To Organizer. Why don't you share this on the Society Hill FB group, and on nextdoor.com?

Since making 000 Spruce Street 2-way the Spruce Street motor traffic is unruly. There is a heavy and loud traffic flow with drivers often traveling at high speed throughout the day and night. It is unsafe for other drivers and the many, many pedestrians (neighbors and tourists) walking in the area.

Before we purchased on Delancey, we almost purchased on Spruce. We walked over one evening and we could not believe the congestion on Spruce street. It needs to go back to 1 way for sure!

Racing down Spruce Street is very dangerous and has resulted in multiple accidents.

232 Spruce St

This traffic pattern needs to be changed back. It is having a serious effect on quality of life and was done with no resident input or engagement. Each erosion to living here peacefully and quietly moves the needle to moving away.

Spruce St needs to go back to being as it was for decades. There was no input from residents before the current unsafe traffic decision was made by the city.

We need to limit or stop the traffic flow down spruce Families in row homes are tired of the motor vehicle traffic and noice. Super dangerous with people that speed down our streets and disobey the laws

We live on the 200 block of Spruce Street and have noticed a dramatic increase in traffic (cars, trucks, motorcycles, ATVs and other vehicles) when turns from Columbus Boulevard to Spruce Street have been allowed. We strongly support permanently prohibiting this turn.

I strongly agree with the statement. I am very pleased with the notable change in traffic since Spruce has been temporarily closed ton traffic coming from Columbus Boulevard. It is quieter and much safer to walkers, joggers and bycycle riders.
