Implementation of further safety improvements to the intersection of Franklin Avenue and Oak Street must wait until Bergen County repaves Franklin Avenue, according to village officials.
Pedestrian safety at the intersection has been an increasing concern for residents and officials after a series of accidents over the past year, including one fatality last July. Three pedestrian accidents have occurred at the intersection so far this year.
“It’s been a priority for the village,” said Mayor Keith Killion.
