Other Ways to Get Involved

With the help of engaged neighbors throughout Byram, the BNA: 

• Had new crosswalks near Lebanon Elementary School

• Lobbied the Town to install traffic-calming crosswalks at Veterans Way and Delavan Avenue

• Has had a voice in the I-95 renovation project

• Has continued to advocate for Byram voices on the Dorothy Hamill renovation project.

Your involvement in the BNA does make a difference! The BNA has five committees — Beautification, Business, Land Use, Outreach, and Traffic & Parking — that always need volunteers.  If you have skills that can help support the BNA’s mission, get in touch!  And if you have special interests or a specific project in mind, the BNA is here for you. 

Sincerely,

Joseph Kantorski, Chair
