Community Survey: Neighborhood Intersection Traffic & Pedestrian Upgrades
The Village of Larchmont completed its Safety Action Plan in June 2025, funded by the USDOT Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A) program. Safety improvements for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles throughout the Village were identified as part of the Safety Action Plan for implementation and further grant funding.
The Village is seeking feedback from residents on the following project as part of an application for the Westchester County Complete Streets grant program.
Larchmont Neighborhood Intersection Pedestrian Upgrades
This project includes upgrades for the intersections of Palmer Avenue/Parkway and Monroe Avenue/Lyons Place/Locust Avenue/Clark Court to provide safer pedestrian access, improved visibility, and reduced conflict points. These intersections today are difficult to maneuver for vehicles in part due to complex vehicle turns and obstructed sight lines, as well for as pedestrians who have limited crossing opportunities and low visibility to vehicles. Proposed improvements to tackle these issues include:
Palmer Avenue/Parkway
Improvements to and relocation of pedestrian crossing to provide a safer crosswalk
Installation of ADA-compliant curb ramps for accessibility
Creation of a T-intersection at the westernmost point possible to avoid conflict with West Avenue
Removal of the Parkway right turn slip lane onto Palmer Avenue and concrete islands to reduce vehicle speeds
Creation of a small pedestrian plaza for pedestrian access as part of the slip lane closure
Improved lighting for the crosswalk relocation
Monroe Avenue/Lyons Place/Locust Avenue/Clark Court
Improvements to Monroe Avenue crossing including restriping and ADA-compliant curb ramps
Installation of a new crosswalk crossing Clark Court, including ADA-compliant curb ramps
Improved intersection lighting for nighttime pedestrian visibility
Removal of the Locust Avenue right turn slip lane
Creation of a small pedestrian plaza for pedestrian access as part of the slip lane closure
Separation of the single, complex intersection to two intersections: Monroe Avenue/Clark Court and Locust Avenue/Lyons Place
Installation of new stop signs between Locust Avenue and Monroe Avenue
Maintenance of clear sight lines at the intersection, including between Monroe Avenue and Locust Avenue
Extension of the curb line at the Locust Avenue/Lyons Place intersection to slow turning vehicles

The Village of Larchmont continues to pursue additional grant funding sources, including for improvements along Larchmont Avenue, Chatsworth Avenue, Vanderburgh Avenue, Palmer Avenue, and residential streets throughout the Village. We appreciate your help to make Larchmont a safer place for all.
