Resident asks Poughkeepsie for speed radar sign on Seder Avenue, more trees on Wilbur Boulevard

Daniel Latona, a Ward 8 resident and community organizer, raised neighborhood traffic and tree-planting concerns during public comment at the Poughkeepsie Common Council meeting on June 10.

Latona said people have been "speeding down Seder Avenue" and that residents have requested a speed radar sign to detect vehicle speeds. He also told the council some residents are asking for more trees to be planted on Wilbur Boulevard.

Those remarks were made during the public participation portion of the meeting; the transcript does not record any formal council motion, staff assignment, or vote in response to Latona's traffic or tree requests in the provided excerpt.

Latona also identified himself as a candidate in the June 24 Democratic primary for common council in Ward 8 and addressed other unrelated items during his same public-comment turn.
