German is for Everyone at: School

The Garden City Traffic Commission met on Thursday May 4 and took several actions, including the approval of a crosswalk from the end of the south sidewalk on South Avenue (near the Adelphi University campus) to the north side sidewalk of South Avenue. The item was deferred at the January 2023 Traffic Commission meeting pending a study. It was also deferred at the March 16 Commission meeting, and Superintendent of Public Works John Borroni later submitted a concept plan and project estimate to the Commission for review.

Trustee Charles Kelly, chairperson the village Traffic Commission, said he has always believed this crosswalk would be very desirable for Adelphi students and people who live in the vicinity.

“This helps to complete their pedestrian route to either Garden City Middle School or the village’s downtown (7th Street). We now have a concept plan and estimate and I think it is an important connection – without that connection, everybody is concerned about walking from that part of South Avenue to downtown Garden City because they can’t figure out where to cross. With no connection there it’s like you are stranded,” he said.
