Residents are voicing their concerns over a dangerous intersection in Valhalla after a teacher's aide was killed there recently.
Dozens came out last night to urge town of Mount Pleasant leaders to make some traffic changes.
Earlier this month, Brittany Mastropolo was crossing at the corner of Columbus Avenue and Cambridge Street in Valhalla, when she was hit and killed by a car.
Officials say they are working to ease concerns about the busy roadway especially when school is in session. "We were able to add an additional bus stop downtown which cuts down on children having to cross the busy street," says Police Chief Paul Oliva.
Leaders in Mount Pleasant say they're also weighing the possibility of adding a crossing guard to Columbus Avenue.
