Children Safe to Cross the 600 Block of North Fourth Street, Newark NJ

This petition was published by Lane Free on Dec 20, 2011

We urge the Newark NJ Mayor and City Council to install traffic calming devices- speed bumps and rumble strips to the 600 block of North Fourth Street in the North Ward from Bloomfield Avenue to the Abington Avenue intersection and one block beyond.

The North Fourth street area is plagued with speeders racing off Bloomfield Avenue seeking a short cut, huge trucks racing to the industrial part of the neighborhood while pets, children and the elderly attempt to cross the streets. On days when church is held it is a dangerous proposition for church members to open their car doors, or attempt to walk across N.4th Street as drivers do not stop, and appear to speed upon those pedestrians walking across the street.

There had been a number of accidents involving pedestrians, school children, pets and other vehicles in the neighborhood and the situation is even worse in 2011. With three elementary schools all with in 1500 feet of the block, three churches, and new N. 4th Street residential developments it is mandatory to have speed control devices installed directly on the 600 block of N. 4th Street Newark NJ 07107.
