P.S. 95 speed bump will make kids safer, parents predict
Motorists driving up Van Sicklen Street in Gravesend will have to slow down when they get to P.S. 95 or risk hitting a speed bump and getting a big jolt.
At the urging of parents, school administrators, elected officials and Gravesend residents, the city’s Department of Transportation (DOT) recently installed a speed bump outside P.S. 95 on Van Sicklen Street between Avenue U and Gravesend Neck Road.
DOT placed the speed bump in a strategic spot: outside the front of the school.
Parents who gathered outside the school this week with Councilmember Mark Treyger and Assemblymember William Colton to celebrate the speed bump predicted that the traffic calming device will greatly improve the safety of the students.
