Braeyla’s Tragedy Sparks Safety Push | Madison News

In the wake of eight-year-old Braeyla Valenza’s tragic death at a dangerous intersection, McFarland’s Village Board has officially approved a comprehensive traffic study to examine speed, visibility, and pedestrian safety. While temporary fixes like signs and speed monitors have been installed, residents demand more — including flashing lights — as the village grows.

A community meeting is set for August 6th to hear residents’ urgent calls for change, with Braeyla’s memory driving every decision.
