We feel that Speed Bumps are crucial to saving lives. Harvard Street is used by speeding commuters to bypass the traffic light on Watchung as well as to avoid the school buses picking up children. This "short-cut" for rush hour commuters causes cars to come flying down our one block street, which is filled with over 30 young children. Though we are excited to get a newly paved street, we fear that this would make it easier for people to go faster, causing it to be deadly for our youngest residents. Please consider adding Speed Bumps to Harvard Street.

We hit our first big milestone today and the pressure on the city council is building. I want you to email your local representatives right now to demand a meeting about these speed bumps. Use the momentum we have built to force them to address the safety of our kids.

53 Harvard Street We are in desperate need of speed bumps. People are cutting between Grove and Ridgewood or heading to the country club at alarming speeds. As a pet owner and soon-to-be parent, I feel that speed bumps would ensure the necessary safety not only for those driving through Harvard Street but also those who live there.
Harvard Street is DEADLY. I not only fear for my kids lives but my own as well. I'm scared to even take my trash to the curb. So I'd even be happy if we had a speed bump put in front of MY house! Or if a police car needed my driveway to hide in. These are facts: - 99% of the street's traffic is from people trying to avoid the Red lights on Watchung - 100% of the traffic is over 25 MPH, with much of it reaching well over 50 MPH! Without Speed Bumps, Harvard Street is DEADLY.
I work with one of the residents on this street and this road is not safe enough for neighborhood children without speedbumps to slow down the reckless traffic. Please add these much needed speedbumps. .
We definitely need speed bumps. People use our street as a cut through to avoid the lights at Watchung and Grove.
I have a 22 month old and a five year old and I fear for them every time they play outside. Cars fly down Harvard Street at all hours in an attempt to avoid traffic at Watchung.

People drive down Harvard Street so FAST, especially during the rush hour traffic . . . This small street is in NEED of Speed Bumps, it is used as a thoroughfare to the even speedier streets (Grove/Ridgewood) -- HELP!
