Halt Freightway Redevelopment To Protect Our Schools And Taxpayers

*Please* halt this process and avoid destroying the school system and community for which so many of us moved to Scarsdale.

I support halting any further proceedings regarding the development of Freightway until the citizens of this neighborhood have had the opportunity to study independent research regarding the matter.

I am adamantly opposed to ANY project that the board has come up with. We need a complete review of this board thinking process and conclusions, so we can assess if doing something now is the best alternative. Who says that the Freightway garage cannot withstand an additional fifty years. And who is to guarantee that any project will be done within time and budget allocated?

Please think of the small businesses on Garth Rd that will be affected by a project like this. The few business that exist in the village are essential. We don’t need any more vacancies. Rosehip and Linnea Best of Westchester Floral Design Scarsdale

I support and request a referendum on the Freightway project before tax money is appropriatedpo

Please make this project and process transparent and let us, the residents, decide what is best for ourselves. It is ironic that the decision makers either doesn’t live in scarsdale(eg, mayor himself) Or has significant self-interest in this project such that they can no longer represent the best interest of majority of scarsdale residents( such as trustees who have close tie to the bidding real state developers). As obvious as it is, the decision makers choose a close-door decision making process on this project that is going to have profound impact on the village for decades to come if not more. We demand to make our own choice on this project!

How did we go from repairing a garage to building a development with new apartments? The most logical remedy would be to fix the garage. It’s like bringing your child to the dentist for a cavity and they suggest veneers. And a Ford Mustang while at it.

No point in rushing into a bad decision- and it wouldn’t be the first time our Village leaders went down that path.

Allowing the School Board and other School related parties to opine on this development has to be a critical step in whether to move forward or not on this project.

Why not keep it as a parking lot? Makes the most sense.

I find it hard to believe that our community would consider building apartments without realizing the importance of a complete study of how it will impact the schools and the congestion it would cause competing with station traffic. It is awful now.

against this project

The proposals seem to only benefit the developers but taxpayers pay the long-term costs.

Scarsdale community needs modern sport facilities with indoor pools and gyms for different sport games! Our kids need it to grow healthy and happy!!! Why not to use the space for this useful project?!

I do not agree to build this mixed development community.

Please halt the mixed use project. Not necessary.

Fix the garage, no need of the extra apartments
