Closing Bell: Petition Asks to Make Congress Street Safer

The Word on Columbia Street posted a petition Columbia Street Waterfront residents are circulating about the traffic speed outside Van Voorhees Park. Here’s a snippet of their concerns: “The vehicle traffic at the increasingly busy intersection of Hicks and Congress Streets, specifically along the West side of the BQE intersection is a cause of large concern for everyone in the neighborhood… We feel, at minimum, there is a critical need for a stop sign and two speed bumps on Congress Street between Columbia Street and Hicks Street.” You can read the full proposal and sign the petition here.
