New Traffic Light Being Installed Near Xaverian
A light is being installed outside of Xaverian on Shore Road and 71st Street. Sheldon shared the photo above and wrote that fifteen years ago it wasn’t a good idea to put a light on this corner because two bus routes, the B64 & B9 come down that block. Also, many parents double park to let their kids out in the morning and when picking them up each afternoon.
When the light is installed at that corner, many people on 71st Street across from Xavarian are going to hear a lot of honking.
A light is needed on that corner. I remember a tween was hit there in the Winter. Xaverian is now a 6th – 12th grade school and drivers are speeding on Shore Road.
Sheldon believes that Shore Road & 72nd Street should have received a light because of the “wicked turn.” There have also been many accidents at that corner.
Residents have complained about how apprehensive they feel when driving down Shore Road and 72nd for years. The politicians put a speed camera instead of a light there.
