Pedestrian safety was made a priority as the school year kicked off on Tuesday after a student and his mother were struck and killed in June while crossing the street.
Kids returned to classes in Mamaroneck after mourning the loss of one of their classmates and his mother.
"Before that tragic incident there should have been a crossing guard at that corner so yeah there have been some nice changes and I'm glad that the town addressed them." Jennifer Mateus, a parent, said. The traffic lights have been adjusted so that traffic stops in all four directions when a pedestrian activates the crosswalk button. This will prevent any vehicles from turning into the intersection.
