We spent most of this day researching pedestrian safety in Westchester and nearby areas. We also researched companies and foundations that might give us information on local traffic laws.
Paul Feiner wrote an entry on his blog about our project and this site. We were shocked and appalled to find that our project was met with such negative and angry commentary. It is horrible that people would even consider our project as a political move for Paul. Our only purpose in this project is to see if we can make a difference in pedestrian safety on Chatterton Parkway and in other areas. Please don't put your political opinions above the safety of your fellow citizens.
If anyone has further criticism of our project, we invite you to comment on this blog.

Three developmentally disabled residents of a group home with Down Syndrome want to raise money to get a sidewalk built on Chatterton Parkway in Greenburgh, NY.
Guides
- Emily Kingsley (Our Sponser)
- Mr. Henry (Our Mentor)
- Mr. Leong (Our Case Manager)
People We Have Met
- Paul Feiner (Greenburgh Town Supervisor)
- Allyson Felix (Part-Time Consultant)
- Sgt. Gillis
- Greenburgh Town Engineers
- Nita Lowey (U.S. Congresswoman)
- Peter Feroe (Assistant to Nita)
- The 3 Musketeers - Jason Kingsley, Raymond Frost, Yaniv Gorodischer
- Lawrence Birnbach
- Vic Leviatin (former teacher at Woodlands High School)
Obstacles
- Some guy who works in an office at the Greenburgh Town Hall. He tries to discourage us by implying that we are not working hard enough and doesn't take us or this project seriously. It is very frustrating when people think that we are not accomplishing work just because we are interns and in high school. We face this obstacle with many other companies that we call up to support us, but we are determined to make this project happen and to make a difference.
Sidewalk Obstacles
- The road is very narrow and steep. The phone poles are too close to the road and it would cost extra money to move them. Moving the phone poles closer to the houses will most likely be dangerous because we do not understand the medical consequences of living closer to the power lines.
-Liabilities of the sidewalk being on private property.
