Halt Freightway Redevelopment To Protect Our Schools And Taxpayers

Spread the word to your neighbors sign the petition !!!

Fixing a parking garage should not involve adding new housing.

Fix the parking crisis in the village, along with making real estate more attractive for new businesses. Incentivize. Be innovative. Put your energy begin filling all these vacant leases. You can’t keep saying it’s the landlords. It’s a two way street. Fix Scarsdale from the ground up before adding more chaos.

We would prefer to have options for recreation and leisure for our children instead of overcrowding schools with new comers. We need more activities in the city center

We need transparency from the mayor and his board

M. Sever Edgewood Even though the project has been put on hold, I stand against moving forward without complete transparency and thorough research and complete community involvement. Executive meetings on record. Period.

No more crowds, traffic, taxes or projects that devalue our properties I have been living in Scarsdale for 20+ years. The last big idea was to rebuild the Popham road bridge. Now Scarsdale is a conduit of traffic between the Hudson river and the LI sound communities. Popham road used to be a nice and tranquil street. Now it is noisy, full of non-residents cars and trucks including 10-wheelers and bus stops. This is not what progress is supposed to be for a community like this. I oppose this new big idea until we are all sure this will be done properly, not repeating the irreparable mistakes of the recent past.

Total transparency, no new taxes, Transparent open bidding for the project.

One thing we don’t need is higher taxes. This needs to be guaranteed in this project.

I respectfully request that you halt proceedings with the two Freightway Redevelopment finalists you chose, until the School Board and the Village Board of Trustees independently run studies on the possible effect of 20 -500 new students coming to Scarsdale in the currently proposed residential units and how those enrollments would impact the quality of education and physical constraints at our schools. We are concerned additional enrollments would automatically trigger rezoning of schools, which many residents oppose.

apartment building implies more people to consume Scarsdale's already limited resources

No Apartments at Friegtway

I’m very concerned about the impact of these new apartment buildings on school overcrowding.

Keep schools exclusive or lower my taxes

We need more transparency on these type of decisions and developments.

Please do not destroy the village that we all love.

Stop the project, it will cause busy traffic in school and community
