Community requests the DOT to install speed bumps on East 18th street between Newkirk and Foster Avenues. A large daycare is situated at this location and additional pedestrian and car passenger safety measures are urgently needed.
Thank you.

Hello there,
A neighbor who also requested speed bumps at this location just received this reply:
“Unfortunately, it was determined that this street is unsuitable for speed reducer placement because Radar speeds below criteria of 30mph at 85%”
We don’t believe this to be the case. Is there a way we can challenge this decision?

Community Board 14 received the following speed bump request denial on 3/31/2021.
From DOT: “Thank you for your correspondence requesting the installation of a speed reducer on East 18th Street from Newkirk and Foster Avenues, Brooklyn. The New York City Department of Transportation (DOT) conducted an investigation to determine the need and feasibility of installing a speed reducer at this location. Factors such as a physical inventory of the street and travel speed were taken into consideration in making our determination. Unfortunately, it was determined that this street is unsuitable for speed reducer placement.”
If you would like to pursue this request, please contact your City Council representative's Office to request the support of City elected officials. Thank you.
