Public Statement from Berkeley Heights Police Chief Frank Mea Regarding Mary Kay McMillin Traffic & Pedestrian Safety

Public Statement – Mary Kay McMillin Traffic & Pedestrian Safety

We are aware of the traffic and pedestrian safety concerns surrounding Mary Kay McMillin Early Childhood Center and are actively working to address them.

Last month, the Township requested a meeting with School District officials to review these concerns. That meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, September 8, when I will meet with Township and School District officials to review current conditions and determine what additional measures we can implement until the planned roadway improvements on Mountain Avenue are completed.

In the meantime, Berkeley Heights Police Officers will continue to be present during school drop-off and pick-up to assist with traffic flow and pedestrian safety.

We appreciate everyone’s patience, cooperation, and continued attention to safety as we work together to protect our students and families.
