Rehabilitation of Yonkers Tibbetts Brook Park Path
To: Andrew Spano (Westchester County Executive)
Category: County Parks
Location: Area of concern is Tibbetts Path located on Rumsey Road, Yonkers NY
Preamble:
Yonkers Park Hill Residents request Westchester County to address a long-standing issue of safety, environmental and security concerns; each concern exacerbated over the past few years by increased erosion, a buildup of trash, and the absence of a gate to prohibit unauthorized vehicles from entering Tibbetts Brook Path.
A poorly constructed path has breached numerous safety, environmental, and security standards.
The Result:
1. Danger of Being Struck by a Vehicle
All that separates the one yard in diameter path from the heavily trafficked Rumsey Road is only four inches of concrete slab! Many pedestrians, families, and Yonkers High school students place themselves in jeopardy every day. Many have noted that when they carry a bag, the rush of air coming from a passing vehicle is enough to test their balance.
2. Risk of Injuring Oneself Maneuvering around the Pathâ
Living right by here and it is a total nightmare. Cars fly down Rumsey like they are on a highway and people are literally inches away. FIX IT

I used to walk this path all the time but stopped because the trash is everywhere and it feels really unsafe with how close the cars drive by. Needs a gate and some serious work.
