After the devastating deaths of a mother and her 6-year-old son who were hit by a mini-school bus in June while crossing Mamaroneck Avenue, members of the community lobbied for a new traffic light pattern along a stretch of the Avenue near Mamaroneck Ave. School.

More on this story from LoHud .
Since that LoHud story, the county has agreed to an EPP, or Exclusive Pedestrian Phase at the fatal intersection, as well as extension of the village’s 25mph speed limit through that area of the county road. Advocates, though, are rightfully concerned about government intertia and want even more done.
