[Updated] Slowing down speed merchants on 3rd Street

EVG reader Concerned Citizen shares this photo from earlier today... when the DOT was spotted putting in a NEW speed reducer on Third Street between Avenue A and Avenue B. (Per the comments, this replaces the one the city removed during the milling-paving last year.)

The city added similar bumps along this corridor, though on Second Street and Fourth Street between A and D, back in September 2021. 

NYC residents can put in a request for speed reducers at this link.

Feeling the need to reduce the speed on 4th Street

As a follow-up to yesterday's post from Second Street... the DOT Bump Team was out today on Fourth Street, where the city is putting in speed reducers — two per block — between Avenue A and Avenue D. 

It looks like they only got to put down the bumps between A and B... and one between B and C. 

And as EVG regular Salim noted, these bumps look less pronounced than the ones on Second Street...

Also, here are some DOT trucks on the job today courtesy of Salim...

Feeling the need to reduce the speed on 2nd Street

This afternoon, DOT crews were out on Second Street between Avenue B and First Avenue to install "speed reducers" (aka speed bumps!) along the corridor, as EVG regular Salim points out...

And here's a look at the new WIP bump between Avenue A and First Avenue... a stretch where we've seen plenty of speeding TBH...

Looks like just one bump per block. Residents can request these speed reducers via the city at this link.
