Bronx, NY – Assemblyman Jeffrey Dinowitz has announced that he was successful in convincing the NYC Department of Transportation to install traffic calming measures in North Riverdale. After numerous complaints from constituents about vehicles traveling at dangerously high speeds in the residential neighborhood of North Riverdale, Assemblyman Dinowitz urged the Department of Transportation to install two speed humps in the area. After conducting a survey of the area earlier this year, the DOT informed Assemblyman Dinowitz of their intention to address the safety concerns he raised by installing two speed humps.

“High speed vehicles in North Riverdale pose a significant danger to the residents of this area, including many seniors and children,” said Assemblyman Dinowitz. “I thank the Department of Transportation for heeding my warnings about the unsafe traffic conditions in this neighborhood by agreeing to install these much-needed traffic-calming measures. These speed humps will help keep car speeds down in North Riverdale, keeping pedestrians, bicyclists, and drivers in our community safer.”
