Update: Safer Streets Campaign Gains Momentum in Irondequoit

Thank you to the 216 people who have signed our petition calling on the Town of Irondequoit to adopt a 25 MPH speed limit on town-controlled roads! Your support helps demonstrate that safer neighborhood streets are a community concern worth addressing. Our goal is to reach at least 1,000 signatures, so while we've got a way to go, we've made good progress towards that number.

Since launching the petition, Walk Bike Irondequoit (WBI) has been working to move this effort forward in several ways:

Engaging Town officials: We've met with Town officials to discuss the proposal, its potential safety benefits, and practical approaches to implementation.
Building statewide momentum: We're part of a growing statewide effort bringing together communities advocating for 25 MPH neighborhood speed limits.
Advocating for safer public spaces: We're also urging the Town to prioritize pedestrian safety, accessibility, and other public-realm improvements through its NY Forward grant process.
Here's how you can help: Please share the petition with friends, neighbors, family members, and local community groups. A personal message explaining why safer streets matter to you can be especially helpful in encouraging others to sign.

If you've experienced speeding, an unsafe crossing, or a close call on an Irondequoit street, consider sharing your experience through our Street Safety Community Experiences Form. Personal stories, alongside petition signatures, can help Town officials better understand how street safety affects residents in their daily lives.

Thank you for being part of this effort. Every signature, shared story, and conversation helps bring safer, calmer neighborhood streets closer to reality.
