Safety Town
Town of Brookhaven, NY
Located at the Town of Brookhaven's Holtsville Ecology site, the children's safety town is a reduced-scale replica of an outdoor village with an educational facility. School children are instructed in both pedestrian and bicycle safety through classroom instruction and hands-on experience using miniature electric vehicles and bicycles.
LKMA prepared the plans for the $1.3 million classroom facility, as well as the outdoor miniature village, and provided construction monitoring services. LKMA also wrote successful grant applications for $191,000 in equipment for the facility. The facility received a Traffic Safety Program Award from the American Automobile Association and an Engineering Excellence Platinum Award from the American Council of Engineering Companies.
