Two projects aimed at enhancing pedestrian safety and improving accessibility at crosswalks and intersections across Long Island, New York, have been completed.

The projects include the first phase of the Pedestrian Safety Action Plan, which upgraded 225 uncontrolled crosswalk locations, created nearly two-dozen additional crosswalks, and added new traffic signals and signs at various locations in Nassau and Suffolk counties.

The second safety project installed 292 wheelchair accessible ramps for compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, added new crosswalks at 10 additional intersections, and installed new crosswalk buttons and pedestrian signals at another 39 sites.

New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said the enhancements were helping to create safer, more walkable communities across Long Island.

“By making these significant investments we are supporting the growth of eco-friendly transit, increasing safety and accessibility, and improving quality of life for Long Islanders,” he said.
