Supporting safer 25 MPH neighborhood streets in Irondequoit
WBI has launched a petition asking that the town move to adopt universal 25 MPH speed limits on all town-controlled roads. We need to make our streets safer for kids, for older adults, for bikers, and for all road users, including those behind the wheel! For clarification: many major roadways and highways in town are controlled by the county or the state, but the town controls speeds for most others. The state allows towns to adopt 25 MPH speed limits on town roads, but towns must follow a number of steps first. Read more at the petition link, and sign on if you agree.
