Westbury Village recently won a Bronze Community Award in the Automobile Club of New York's Traffic Safety Awards Program.

The Bronze Award is given to communities that implement programs and projects that demonstrate a substantial effort to address local traffic safety issues. The village was cited for its many traffic safety efforts, including the distribution of traffic safety materials to schools and strictly enforcing shrub height regulations at intersections. The club's president, Dennis J. Crossley, made the announcement.

All award winners in the New York metropolitan area were honored at the club's 40th Annual Traffic Safety Awards Luncheon, which was held on Oct. 6 at the Westchester Country Club in Rye. AAA, the Automobile Club of New York's local affiliate, presented a total of 99 awards. AAA has long recognized communities that make outstanding efforts to make the region's roads safer for motorists, bicyclists and pedestrians.
