The undersigned petition Community Board 7 for the full board to rescind the February 9th vote approving the curb extension proposal at the Windsor Place - Terrace Place - PPSW location and await the results of the DOT (Dept. of Traffic) traffic light study for this intersection.

On Tuesday February 9th, Community Board 7 voted in favor of the DOT ( Dept of Traffic) proposal to move forward and add a cement curb extension to the corner of Windsor Place and Terrace Place. The vote was initiated by a select few committee members, prior to the completion of a Traffic Signal Study by DOT scheduled for completion in July.

The February 9th vote ignored the wishes of the many Windsor Terrace residents in attendance at previous transportation committee meetings held at Holy Name Church and CB 7 Fourth Ave headquarters. The understanding was that a signal study be completed before any changes are made to the corner sidewalk extending out, in cement, in a 18ft wide and 26 ft long space.

A traffic light at this intersection could potentially negate and/or allow for a modified version of the proposed sidewalk abutment. Waiting until July when the study is complete will not be a threat to safety as the present delineated area will still be in place.

I most definitely support further study prior to any changes to the intersection of Windsor Place and PPSW. We have asked for a traffic light for many years now. It's about time to act on that suggestion rather than put forth yet another one, with little if any study or support from neighborhood residents most familiar with the situation and needs of pedestrians and drivers. Thank you CITIZENS FOR THE PRESERVATION OF WINDSOR TERRACE for your continued vigilance, concern and action for issues that impact our neighborhood.

I support delaying any decision until a review of the traffic light study is completed and follow-up recommendations are made.

I believe that a "Traffic Study" is appropriate before any decision is made.

I agree, there should be a "traffic study" before anyone proceeds.

It makes sense to wait a few months for study results.

A vote on approving the curb extension proposal should not have taken place before the reults of the D.O.T. traffic light study was completed.
