The new road at the Thomas Thompson - Sally Mazzarella Park in Rhinebeck is not currently monitored and regulated for speed. It is considered a "private" road in a public access park.
A request has been made to the Village of Rhinebeck to consider establishing and enforcing a speed limit no higher than 15 mph to promote a safer park, particularly within context of the expected increase in traffic inspired by the numerous existing and future trails planned at the park.
A public hearing is planned for this issue on February 9th at 7pm, but for many, this time is inconvenient or impossible. This petition is to help those who want to register support for the establishment and enforcement of a speed limit no higher than 15 mph in the park enclosure, and specifically for the road named "Dave Travers Way"

The feedback regarding traffic safety at Dave Travers Way has been insightful and confirms that many residents share these concerns. I am currently organizing the correspondence to present to the village officials ahead of the upcoming public hearing.

The level of support for regulating traffic on Dave Travers Way has grown beyond my original expectations. This momentum demonstrates how vital a safe environment remains for everyone who visits the park.

I feel the speed limit is warranted considering the risk of injury from possible speeding vehicles. In order to enforce the speed limit I also feel that local police need to be present especially at special events or activities where many people may be present. It's not really any use having a speed limit if law can not be enforced.
Our children walk to/from the park all year (more in the summer) sharing the same roads that the vehicles use. The new roads and parking area "through traffic" need to be safe. Please set strict limits.
Thank you all for participating! We submitted our voice to the Village Board to show of support for an enforced speed limit. The Village endorsed the proposal to enforce a speed limit of 10mph.
My understanding is that the change in code will allow Police to enforce the speed limit.
I support a speed limit (no more than 10 mph) but any limit will be useless unless it is enforced.
Important to have a speed limit, esp. As use grows. Also there should be a regular police presence to enforce it. I am also concerned that the signage about parking at the library is missing/unclear. I see people going every which way which is a problem especially when there is a larger event.

I agree there should be a 10-15 MPH speed limit. I also suggest that crosswalk markings be placed on the egress from Starr, so that children/pedestrians walking between the pool area and library have the reight of way. This should be placed between the three rocks located on your map and the triangle by the small parking lot.
