Chatham Borough Police Honored For Traffic Safety Efforts

CHATHAM, NJ - Citing their hard work hard work and contributions on two major projects to increase pedestrian safety and improve the flow of traffic the Northeast AAA has given the Chatham Borough Police Department a Platinum Award for Community Traffic Safety.

One project involved the reconfiguration of the drop-off/pick-up area of Washington Avenue School and the other project involved a comprehensive effort by the Traffic Safety Section, Borough Council, NJDOT, Chatham Borough Engineering Department, and Chatham Borough Department of Public Works to improve driving conditional along Main Street, Route 124.

The projects, which are still ongoing, have and will continue to result in improved flow of traffic for pedestrians and vehicles thereby making it safer within the Borough, especially on Main Street during rush hour traffic.

These projects highlight the tremendous attention the Chatham Police Department, and specifically the Traffic Safety Section, invests in the continuous pursuit of improving the safety of the roadways in Chatham Borough for the pedestrians and vehicle commuters alike, officials said. The AAA Platinum Award, which is the highest award a department can be achieve, was well deserved and was an honor to be received by the Chatham Borough Police Department, officials said.
