“Sadly, there have been pedestrian fatalities in the region because motorists have not seen pedestrians walking at night,” said Supervisor Paul Feiner.
The town said White Plains Hospital, its first partner in safety, donated 5,000 bracelets. Phelps Hospital has ordered reflectors which will also be distributed.
