Assemblyman Pat Burke and rising senior Richie Schack are addressing safety concerns at West Senior High School in West Seneca due to the lack of sidewalks and crosswalks at the busy intersection of Seneca Street and Ridge Road. The area, which lacks pedestrian safety measures, has prompted Schack to start a petition that has gathered over 400 signatures from students, teachers, and community members. Burke supports the proposal to install sidewalks, crosswalks, and a traffic button to improve safety. Discussions with the school district, local and state officials, and engineers are ongoing to explore possible changes and funding sources. Burke aims to resolve the issue before an accident occurs.
