Living on Mercer I second this request. Prefer one with the solar attachment so there is a blinking light around the outer edge of the sign. This crosswalk has been very accident prone location with cars slamming into one other in addition to not stopping for pedestrians.

Thank you for the submission, we will investigate the accident/request and follow up with a reply containing our recommendations.

We will conduct a preliminary traffic assessment to determine what type of traffic control is warranted at this intersection and if a more in-depth study is required. Please allow 2-3 weeks for the preliminary study to be completed.

I agree that Varick St should have an additional stop sign at Mercer St. Accidents have happened here in the past, but accidents are becoming more severe, and this recent accident sent a car up onto the sidewalk and into a brownstone courtyard.

A preliminary traffic assessment was conducted which included a review of the intersection’s crash history. Based on JCPD crash reports, this intersection meets the threshold to warrant a more in-depth study. We will collect traffic volume data at this intersection in order to conduct a multi-way stop warrant analysis. Please allow 4 to 6 months for this work to be completed.

Has this been resolved?

Here it is 01.29.2020 almost a year later and we still do not have a STOP SIGN install on the Varick side of the street facing Mercer Street. What in the world can take such a long time to from the request in March on 23019 until now for the simple installation of a STOP SIGN.

Let's get Traffic to do this ASAP

The Council recently approved a new ordinance to convert the intersection of Varick St and Mercer St into an all-way stop intersection. The stop sign and stop bar will be installed within the next few weeks.

Well we are looking forward to finally have this happen. The resident have been asking for this for over 2 years. The is no need for this request to have taken this long.

Has this been resolved?

This issue will now be closed. If the issue still exists feel free to reopen this request.
