DOT: Slower Isn’t Safer On Route 17

By Ramsey Al-Rikabi – Times Herald-Record
Traffic is a blur yesterday westbound on
Route 17. A DOT report said lowering the
speed would not make the highway safer.

Lowering the speed limit on Route 17 would not make the highway safer, according to an internal state Department of Transportation report.

In fact, reducing the limit from 65 mph to 55 mph could reduce safety on the stretch of highway between the Town of Wallkill to the New York State Thruway.

“If (the speed limit) was lowered, it might be more dangerous,” said Josh Ribakove, a DOT spokesman.

Rabbi Mendy Greenberg

Bonita Springs, FL — Rabbi Mendy Greenberg is hoping to create a home away from home for the Jewish community by acquiring a new gathering space for the Chabad of Bonita Springs and Estero.

The Chabad moved into the 2,000-square-foot office space off Old 41 in Bonita Springs less than two weeks ago. The space will act as temporary home until a permanent spot is found to build a synagogue and Jewish community center.

“We got this place so we could have an identity of our own and so people could locate us on a regular basis,” said Greenberg. “This way we don’t have to rent a space every time we have a gathering or event.”
