Rockland Writes: Thank You To Airmont Officials For Finally Removing The Dangerous Craigmere Road Wall

To the Editor of Rockland Daily,

After years of accidents, repeated rollovers, and growing concern from residents, it is a major relief to finally see the dangerous wall along Craigmere Road being removed.

Just last week, another vehicle struck the wall and overturned, once again showing how serious the hazard had become. For those who regularly travel along this road, the concern was never theoretical. Too many drivers have lost control at this curve, crashing into the wall, and residents feared that it was only a matter of time before another serious tragedy occurs.

Now that the work is finally being done, it is important to recognize those who continued pushing until the problem was addressed.

A sincere thank-you is owed to the Village of Airmont trustees and especially Deputy Mayor Shimon Moses, who did not allow the issue to be forgotten. They continued working behind the scenes, following up, and making sure the dangerous condition was properly resolved rather than allowing it to remain another unfinished promise.

Public officials are often criticized when problems are not addressed, but they should also be thanked when they listen to residents and remain committed until real action is taken.

Removing the wall will make this section of Craigmere Road safer for everyone who drives, walks, or lives nearby. The community deeply appreciates the Village of Airmont officials who refused to rest until the work became a reality.
