The City of Atlantic City took another step toward enhancing community safety as the Public Works Department installed additional stop signs at the intersection of Winchester and Dover Avenues. This initiative was implemented in direct response to concerns raised by local residents who voiced their need for safer streets.
City officials confirmed that the decision to add more stop signs came as a result of feedback received during the city’s monthly CitiStat meetings, where residents regularly share community concerns and suggestions. The prompt response demonstrates the city’s continued commitment to listening to its people and acting on their input.
The newly installed stop signs aim to reduce speeding, decrease the risk of accidents, and make crossing safer for both pedestrians and drivers in the area. By addressing traffic issues at key intersections, the city hopes to create a more secure environment for families, commuters, and visitors alike.
Residents in the Winchester and Dover neighborhood had long expressed worries about vehicles moving too quickly through the area, especially during peak hours. The new safety measures now provide added peace of mind for those who walk, cycle, or drive in the vicinity.
The project reflects the city’s proactive approach to urban safety—where citizen participation and government action work hand in hand to make a tangible difference.
Atlantic City officials continue to encourage residents to report concerns or suggestions about infrastructure and safety. The city’s open communication channels ensure that every voice can play a role in shaping a safer, stronger Atlantic City.
