  • Driving Speed along Sunset Avenue is a problem
  • Eliminate vehicles using Sunset Ave as a cut through from Bloomfield to Mt Prospect
  • Afterglow neighborhood is full of pedestrians, cyclists, children, dogs – KEEP THEM SAFE
  • Verona Police have failed to help enforce speed limit – with radar
  • Verona removed speed bumps, and is not willing to consider re installing them
  • No Turn signs will not be enough to prevent cars from going the wrong way, the dead end will ensure traffic flows correctly in and out of the 1 Sunset Ave Property.

Earlier this year, the Verona Town Council approved the ordinance supporting a proposed redevelopment plan at 1 Sunset Avenue in place of the Spectrum 360 school – 200 Units, as well as 300 parking spots and proposed adjustments to street parking rules in the area.

This proposed development, along with the increased vehicle traffic we are experience is going to make Sunset extremely dangerous for everyone. Let’s demand the town take action to protect our families and minimize the volume of cars and speeds at which they travel through our small residential neighborhood.

By Creating a private driveway for the development and doctor’s office, this will create a safer entrance for both buildings. The Development could widen their driveway to help traffic flow “rush hour times”. With creation of the dead end, the town can further justify their extended town center.

The scale of this response is compelling enough to move our proposal directly to the planning board agenda. I am finalizing a formal letter to the Council requesting a traffic study before the upcoming redevelopment hearing.

Seriously? Verona needs to wake up before someone gets hit. Close the road off and stop letting commuters use our neighborhood as a shortcut.

i live on the next street over and its already a nightmare trying to walk my dog. 200 units plus 300 parking spots is insane for such a small area.

My kids play outside all the time and cars fly down this street like it is a highway. Enough is enough.
