Petition for 25 MPH Speed Limit on Irondequoit Town Roads
Irondequoit residents want safer streets for everyone. Adopting a 25 MPH speed limit on town-controlled roads would be a practical next step toward achieving that goal. Lower speeds can make a meaningful difference in the severity of crashes while adding little to most drivers’ travel times.

Data Center Information and Local Action
Data centers house large numbers of servers used to store, process, manage, and distribute digital information. They may support cloud computing, artificial intelligence systems, online services, and other high-intensity computing operations. Because data centers can consume enormous amounts of electricity, their rapid growth has raised concerns about energy demand, grid capacity, emissions, and electricity costs in NYS. Learn more.
