Speed Limit Reduced on Busy Road in Greenburgh

The speed limit on busy East Hartsdale Avenue in Greenburgh has been reduced to 25 miles per hour, following a recent decision by the Town Board.

According to Town Supervisor Paul Feiner, the goal is to “help ensure the safety of motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians,” and the move was requested by residents.

“East Hartsdale Avenue is the most densely populated area in town, with many residents, commuters, patrons and merchants driving and walking along the street creating a risk of vehicular/pedestrian conflict,” said Feiner in a statement. “The entire length of East Hartsdale Avenue will have the reduced speed limit; most other streets in town have a 30 mph speed restriction.”

He added that the need for the reduced speed was confirmed from data obtained from police department reports.
