Mr. Gross is correct when he says speeding is a problem throughout the village and now that we have a police dept that is not under a hatchet it is time speed and moving violations are enforced, its time that the taxpayers have a say in enforcement of our neighborhoods. I always say its allowed to happen. Speed, talking on cell phones, tailgating ect. are all allowed to occur. I wrote a letter to the editor on this site last year informing that I would collect petitions for lowering of the speed limit throughout the village but the only respoces I received was that the police cant even enforce the limits now. However, I am still determined to collect signatures with help from different quadrants of the village. Anyone who would have interest in speaking to me please don't hesitate to call and maybe we can all come together and change for a safer community with the quality of life for all.

Mayor Joseph Gross said he sympathesizes with Curasi and noted that speeding is a problem all over the village.... HMMM, if there is such a problem with speeding, then why did the mayor not bring his findings to the public prior to this article. And if this was such a long standing problem, why would a few select board members try to eliminate the police department. Thankfully this is all in the past and Peter Neuman will work with Chief Williams after he is elected

How could the one officer on at a time patrol if he is busy crossing the kids - LOL

Uh-oh, the conspiracy theorists are loose and roaming the village. The issue of speeding has been brought up quite a bit over the last couple of years (prior to this article , which is neighborhood specific) and judging from the police blotter the police are doing an excellent job ticketing offenders. No one wanted to 'eliminate the police department", the suggestion was merging or consolidating it with another. This is an inflammatory comment designed to mislead and enrage. And if you think Peter Neuman will work with anybody but Peter Neuman, I believe you are mistaken. If Mr. Neuman wants to serve, maybe *he*could be the crossing guard....

5 years later and the cars are still speeding down this road. As a resident of River Ave. since 2004, I actually think the speeding and volume of traffic has increased (and thus become worse) than it was in 2009. I realize this is hardly the place to put this comment as the thread is outdated, but I just came upon it and thought I'd post nonetheless.

The real problem seems to be during the weekdays between 3pm and 7pm during the warmer months, when all the commuter traffic from West Point spills down from Rt. 218. The majority of the offenders don't even live in cornwall. It is very frustrating living here and not even being able to back out of your driveway without someone honking or glaring you down.
