Halt Freightway Redevelopment To Protect Our Schools And Taxpayers

Two significant concerns are school over crowding and the fact that renters do not pay our exorbitant school taxes.

Please stop apartment building development

The premise of this needs to be debated and understood before we consider any developer. This has not happened on any substantive level so far.

I oppose this redevelopment until the effects of so many potential new students moving into the district can be examined.

Please conduct impact research first, before trying to move the project forward. Before seeing convincing evidence that the impact and the risk are well considered and controlled, I’m voting against the project. - Resident at Fox Meadow

Stop building apt here in Scarsdale.

11RossRoad, Scarsdale 10583

25 Kent Road. I have been professionally involved with municipal and state government for many years, and it’s accepted best practice to involve critical stakeholders early and often in such significant efforts. Rushing a project of this magnitude through without adequate analysis and transparency can be extraordinarily detrimental to the community at large in the short- and long-term; the absence of such suggests a number of negative things I don’t care to elaborate on here. Thank you for your consideration.

Not very prudent to upset your constituents. You’ve all but guaranteed that the community will not summarily check the boxes with your name on them next time. Don’t take the way Scarsdale votes for granted. E. Avery Franklin Rd.

I'd like to know why Mayor Marc Samwick believes the education system will not collapse after completion of the proposed residential units and accepting the 20-500 new students.

Vote no.

Walworth resident of 39 years in opposition. Build a park, not another building. This isn’t Manhattan. Why isn’t green space an option? There should be bike racks. Make Scarsdale bike-friendly. Take a cue from the city. Involve the residents more.

Voting against Freightway plans.

Losing Freightway for any period of tie will create chaos for the many commuters who live in Scarsdale.

I am the owner of Arbre D`Or on 50 Garth Road. Any blocking of roads will devistate the livelihood of the business in the area. I hereby am opposed to the plan.

If this is what the mayor and the board of trustees consider “transparency” — I’d hate to see what their lack of transparency would look like. A lot money stands to be made from this project. It’s shocking that these are the best Scarsdale could come up with. I’m not necessarily in favor of abandoning the idea of development, but something smells rotten here. Is this the legacy this board wants to leave us with?

Scarsdale's entire system of governance needs to be re-examined

The last time there was even a fraction of this amount of construction in the area, it devastated most if not all the businesses on Garth road. How much time did the village spend consulting local businesses and residents compared to the time spent with the developers?
