Main Street in Smithtown has been designated as one of the deadliest streets in the tri-state area, according to a recent Tri-State Transportation Campaign report.
New York State ranks 4th in the nation for pedestrian fatalities for people age 65+. A recent AARP survey found that two- thirds of transportation Planners have not yet begun to consider the needs of older people on designing roads.
