Safety Improvements Slated for Lawrence Street & Saw Mill in Ardsley

(Ardsley - April 21st) Changes in the traffic patterns of Lawrence Street was what brought the Department of Transportation on site, thanks to the intervention of Senator Stewart-Cousins, Westchester County Legislator Shimsky, AssemblymemberAbinanti and Greenburgh Supervisor Feiner, and will be making safety improvements at the busy intersection with the Saw Mill River Parkway in Ardsley. The commitment came after local elected officials and community members met with a NYSDOT traffic engineer on April 21st.

Senator Stewart-Cousins’ commended the DOT’s response as a step in the right direction. The NYSDOT plans to make pavement markings on the Saw Mill in advance of the northbound Saw Mill at Lawrence Street, to indicate that the right lane is also the turning lane. Additional signage is also being considered. The DOT has scheduled the improvements to be completed in August.
