Petition for Urgent Traffic Safety Intervention on Centre Street
Link to petition: https://c.org/W2PHSsmPxr
Speeding on Centre Street between Murray Circle and Allandale has gotten completely out of hand. Residents can't safely pull out of side streets. Pedestrians can't cross safely. Last week, a neighbor was hit at Louders Lane—his car was totaled and the driver took off.
This has been a problem for decades, but it's accelerating. We all share the same fear: how long before someone is killed? We're asking the Department of Conservation and Recreation, State Police, and our elected officials to stop waiting for a tragedy.
We started a petition asking for three concrete things: an immediate community meeting with officials, visible traffic enforcement TODAY (not after a study), and a commitment to traffic calming measures and a proper safety review at our most dangerous intersections.
If you live near Centre Street or know Jamaica Hills, you've probably white-knuckled through this stretch. If this is hitting home, would you consider signing and sharing? This is about preventing someone from getting seriously hurt—or worse.
