CROSSWALK BACKGROUND AND UPDATE
Supervisor Feiner—and the proposed crosswalk engineer—will be holding a community meeting on Saturday, November 19, at 10:00 am at Crane’s Pond to discuss the Crane's Pond raised crosswalk. By way of background:
- The raised crosswalk has been requested by Edgemont residents for years.
- The raised crosswalk has been recommended by the Town of Greenburgh Police Department.
- The raised crosswalk was recommended by an independent traffic-safety consultant hired by the Town.
- The raised crosswalk has the support of the Town’s Parks and Recreation Advisory Board and the Town Planning Board.
- The Town Board has approved Town Recreation funds to pay for the crosswalk (subject only to the report and final recommendation of the traffic engineer.)
- For additional background information on the crosswalk, see this link.
RESIDENT FEEDBACK NEEDED
Despite the above-listed Town support, Mr. Feiner has indicated he will support the recommendations of the majority of people who attend the 11/19 meeting. To ensure the building of the long-requested raised crosswalk, the Edgemont Association believes it is important for the neighborhood to show its support for the raised crosswalk. If you're able to attend the 11/19 meeting, we'll see you there. If you cannot attend, PLEASE POST A COMMENT BELOW. We will print all comments and deliver them to the Town.
All comments are welcome; but hopefully you can voice your support for the crosswalk.
Best regards,
The Edgemont Association
