New Wink-O-MaticsAbout 2 years ago a parent from Henderson Elementary School started a campaign to move the flashing 25mph blinking lights (Wink-O-Matics) on Waterway Dr. to cover all side streets that our children walk in the mornings and afternoons to slow down drivers. Well with the help of our MPOA President VDOT finally came out and agreed that they should be moved! They are not as far back as we would like; however their visibility is much better for drivers when they are approaching the school zone. We should all say a huge thank you to Blake Nicolai and Jim Cech! Thank you both so much for looking out for our students welfare!

Absolutely agree. Our kids are way past his point, but let's given the next generation every courtesy in getting to school safely.
