Elmsford plans speed bumps, new signage and targeted patrols after complaints near Nob Hill stop sign
Summary
Trustees heard police and public‑safety updates that the village will install speed bumps, add 30 mph signage, solar‑powered stop‑sign lighting and increase patrols and SRO presence after repeated complaints of speeding and buses blocking intersections near Nob Hill.
Village officials told trustees the police department and public‑works staff will install physical and visual traffic‑calming measures at a trouble spot near Nob Hill following resident complaints about speeding and vehicles blocking a stop sign.
The police commissioner (identified in the record as Brian Bellantoni) and village officials described steps the village is taking: installing two speed bumps, placing multiple 30‑mph signs, adding solar‑powered illuminated lights to highlight stop signs, stenciling “STOP AHEAD” markings on pavement, and increasing patrol presence. The transcript also notes that the school resource officer (SRO) will speak with bus drivers and bus companies where buses have been alleged to block intersections.
Trustees indicated that one complaint prompted immediate follow‑up; the police commissioner dispatched staff who spoke with management where food trucks had been parking in a fire lane. The transcript shows the mayor thanking police and noting additional patrols were underway.
No formal ordinance or budget appropriation was shown in the record for the traffic measures; officials described these as operational responses handled through police and public‑works channels. The meeting record did not include timelines for installation, contractor names, or detailed cost estimates.
