At the request of local residents and elected officials from Airmont, a meeting was held to address pressing safety concerns along Cherry Lane, specifically between Route 59 and surrounding areas. The initiative was spearheaded by Deputy Mayor and Trustee Moses, alongside Community Activist and Askan Yehuda Zorger, Lazer Philipson and County Legislators Jesse Malowitz and Joel Friedman, whose districts intersect at this key point.
The officials gathered to assess the situation firsthand and engaged in discussions about improving pedestrian safety in the area. They emphasized the urgent need for sidewalks and other safety measures to protect residents and pedestrians. Both legislators pledged to collaborate on this issue, promising to work together to secure safer streets for the community.
This meeting came in response to a suggestion from County Executive Ed Day, who recommended involving legislators to ensure that some of the newly allocated county funding for sidewalks is directed toward this area. The officials agreed on the importance of advocating for resources and committed to pushing forward with plans to implement these critical safety enhancements.
