Village Board weighs traffic fixes in Greenacres session
Tuesday’s meeting focused on traffic problems in Greenacres. The board enacted a parking ban on the northwest side of Greenacres Ave from Walworth Ave to the Bronx River parkway during weekday rush hours, while leaving in abeyance a proposal restricting parking on Walworth Ave from Fenimore Rd to Colvin Rd. Further study was allotted to widening Fenimore Rd at Walworth to aid left turns. Residents urged preserving the residential character and called for a traffic light at Fenimore and Brite while noting that policing and timing, not road widening, would ease speeding.
