Council weighs four-way stop at Bridge Street ramp to protect boardwalk pedestrians
Summary
Councilmember explained a proposal to install a northbound stop sign at the Bridge Street ramp (NY-30) to create a four-way stop near a new boardwalk and pedestrian crossing after resident requests about congestion and safety.
Councilmember (speaker 7) described a proposed stop sign at the northbound Bridge Street ramp where it intersects New York State Route 30 to address congestion and pedestrian safety related to a new boardwalk. He said local residents Marilyn Montanaro Sawyer and another asked him to look into the location and that police and staff supported the four-way stop to improve pedestrian protection.
A staff member noted the existing intersection had been a three-way stop and the change would create a true four-way stop. "When they come off the Bridge Street ramp ... Coming off the bridge, there'll be a stop sign right here on your left," the councilmember said, adding the measure aims to ensure traffic stops for boardwalk pedestrians.
