I think it is a very bad idea to introduce residential building into Scarsdale. It is highly likely to constrain the school systems and burden owners of single family houses, it could further increase our already high property tax, and depress the property value. It is likely to have negative impact for the community

What is Scarsdale’s goal in developing this site?

This does not sound to be very well thought through

It is important to understand the impact of this project on our school district and community before moving forward. Based in what I learnt, this project will have major negative impact on school budget and long term tax burden of residents. Recent Examples from other communities such as short hill and Mamaroneck spells out clearly the danger of moving forward irresponsibly. I strongly urge the mayor and the trustee explore alternative options for the Freightway project.

We just relocated to Scarsdale from a crowded school district. My kid is much happier here. I hope this happiness is not temporary. Please do a thorough analysis on the impact on schools and tax burdens.

We need parking. We don’t need any more people or children in the schools. The charm of Scarsdale is in its relative smallness compared to other Westchester communities. This is a tipping point. We must look to the future, not the past as the last decade has changed commerce so drastically. We need to do much more quality. research

When the residents were surveyed about having a new garage, the natural tendency was for people to say yes if the consequences and costs were not fully presented. It was not a fair survey hence the results should be rendered meaningless. Please stop rushing the freight way project to the detriment of us, the Scarsdale residents that elected you to office. We the people are watching and fighting.

Residential units are not Scarsdale residents needed. Please stop do that. It will destroy foxmeadow and our middle and high schools

The current parking garage may be an eyesore or costly to repair, but let’s not solve a problem with even a bigger problem. The current direction points to a cure more deadly than the disease.

There are tremendous financial and reputational risks to our schools, infrastructure, not to mention taxpayers, in the Freightway Redevelopment project as it presently stands. I urge Scarsdale residents and merchants to get involved ASAP.

Even considering this nonsense project is foolish!

This is an absolutely horrible idea
