Ardsley Plaza paving shifts to cheaper bituminous surfacing
Work began this week on Ardsley Plaza with the Village highway department under Richard Behrens.

Storm sewers are installed to drain slopes along Ardsley Avenue West and Hudson Road, reducing flood conditions. The last push scarifies and repaves the roadway while grass and weed cutting continues village wide.
