A member of the public urged a pedestrian-safety PSA after describing near-miss incidents at night; Mayor Lynch announced an upcoming on-site accreditation assessment of the Boonton Police Department and invited public comment to the assessment team.
During the public-comment portion of the March 23 meeting, a resident asked that the police department issue a public-safety announcement reminding pedestrians to wear bright clothing at night and urging motorists to slow down and be alert at crosswalks.
