Residents and neighbors are calling for a corridor-level review of recurring road, drainage, speed, and safety issues along Route 9W.
 

Route 9W is a residential corridor used daily by families, children, pedestrians, side-street traffic, school-related traffic, and bus-stop users.

For years, our community has documented, reported, and escalated recurring concerns along this stretch of Route 9W, including repeated pavement deterioration despite patching, truck-related vibration and impacts, flooding and drainage issues, speeding, bus-stop safety concerns, and broader residential-corridor safety issues. These conditions are ongoing and require more than temporary fixes.

We are asking the responsible agencies and officials to conduct a coordinated corridor-level review of these recurring conditions and their underlying causes, move beyond repeated temporary patching, and clearly communicate findings, risks, long-term plans, and mitigation measures to the affected community.

We are also asking that existing unresolved corridor conditions be addressed before any new major infrastructure project is advanced.

We are asking for:

1. A corridor-level review of the recurring conditions affecting this stretch of Route 9W and their underlying causes.

2. Durable solutions that address root causes, not repeated temporary patching.

3. Review of whether current speeds are appropriate and whether speed reduction or other traffic-calming measures should be considered.

4. Existing unresolved corridor conditions to be addressed before any new major infrastructure project is advanced.

5. Public sharing of findings, conclusions, risks, long-term plans, and mitigation measures with the affected community.

Anyone who supports a safer and more accountable Route 9W corridor is encouraged to sign, including residents, neighbors, families, and other affected community members.
