Valley Stream 30 installs L.E.D stop signs

Valley Stream District 30 partnered with Town of Hempstead Supervisor Don Clavin to have new L.E.D stop signs placed at the corner of Forest Road and Brook Road. The stop signs lined with small red flashing lights will help to increase their visibility and curb the risk of drivers blowing through them or failing to make a complete stop. 

The new traffic safety installations were part of the Town of Hempstead’s back to school safety initiative and included the efforts of Councilwoman Melissa Miller and the Mill Brook Civic Association as well.

“Thank you to the administrators and Student Council representatives who joined us for the installation,” Clavin said. “It’s always great meeting the future leaders of our community.”

Valley Stream District 30 Superintendent Roxanne Garcia-France was thankful for the arrival of the new signs.

“Our student homes are two miles away from their schools, making it a walking district,” said Garcia-France. “We rely on our partnerships with the Nassau County Police Department, the Town of Hempstead, and local entities such as the Mill Brook Civic Association to ensure the safety of our Global Leaders of Tomorrow. I look forward to working with the Town in continuing this safety initiative in our other schools.”
