Grove is one of Montclair's most dangerous streets, with multiple serious crashes in just the past few months.
While the speed limit has been lowered, research shows that real safety improvements require more than signs—they need street design changes.
Image: Grove Street is wide and mostly straight with underutilized parking lanes on either side.
A protected bike lane is one of the most effective ways to calm traffic, reduce crashes, and make roads safer for everyone, including drivers, pedestrians, and cyclists.

We urge the township and the county to take action now to make Grove Street safer.
We're inspired by other communities that have transformed their streets into safe, useful and livable spaces for all.
Are you an architect, urban planner or designer? We’d love your help visualizing what a better Grove Street could look like.
