On July 7, 2015, Senator Schumer visited Saxon Woods Park in White Plains to launch a three-pronged effort to analyze dangerous roads and intersections in the Lower Hudson Valley, make safety recommendations, and then implement them to prevent potentially numerous accidents from happening again. Schumer explained this effort comes on the heels of a recent Journal News report that revealed concerning data in which 133 sections of roadway in the Lower Hudson Valley were listed as having some of the highest crash rates in the state. Schumer said the federal government must step up to the plate and work with locals in both counties to identify areas of roadway that are in desperate need of improvements in order to improve road safety. Schumer was joined by White Plains Mayor Thomas Roach.
