MTA Installs Security Cameras at Wakefield Metro-North Station

The honor roll student and star athlete was killed on the tracks at the Wakefield train station five years ago, but because there were no security cameras set up, the family will likely never know how Matthew died. “We've been fighting for these cameras for 5 1/2 years,” says Jeni Wallace

Sen. Mayer lobbied behind the scenes, and the message apparently resonated with the new leadership of the MTA – it ordered the placement of cameras at the Wakefield station two weeks ago.
