    Move to the suburbs? Are you really that stupid? Move to where driving over 30 mph is de rigeur and no one walks, scoots, skates or bikes, for precisely that reason?

    The folks who posted the 20 mph signs are the ones who helped spearhead the campaign that put the traffic signal at Greenwich and Duane — so kids and parents can safely access Washington Market Park, PS 150, etc. without having to dodge the vehicles barreling down Greenwich. Why don’t you start up a petition to have it ripped out?

    Why start a petition? That sounds too much like due process. I’m just gonna get a bunch of friend s and some tools and were gonna take the signs down at midnight…..just like they were put up. This is pure vandalism…!

    Come on guys, this used to be a really nice neighborhood until you all moved in with this kind of negativity & entitlement. No need for this evil banter.
    Smithers want to chime in?

    @Rosalie, I like to point out the absurdity of some of the comments. You tell us to ” play nice” but you then tell us how nice the neighborhood used to be before I moved in . A little passive aggressive….no? Sound s like you”re acting a bit entitled and negative. For the record I moved to Tribeca in 1993.
