The resolution designates September 21 of each year as New Jersey Pedestrian Crosswalk Safety Day, honoring the memory of Bruce Morlack, a dedicated crossing guard who tragically lost his life while protecting students. This day aims to raise awareness about pedestrian safety, emphasizing the shared responsibility of both motorists and pedestrians to ensure safe crossings. It highlights the importance of vigilance, adherence to crossing guard instructions, and the need for well-maintained walkways and crosswalks for the safety of all community members.

In addition to honoring Mr. Morlack's legacy, the resolution calls upon the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing this day and encourages public officials and citizens to engage in activities and programs that promote pedestrian safety. The initiative seeks to foster a culture of responsibility and proactive safety measures, ultimately enhancing the safety of pedestrians throughout New Jersey.
