Local protests over toll booth placement on Saw Mill Parkway
Mayor Smith and the Irvington Board of Trustees urge reconsideration of toll booth locations south of Cyrus Field Road after court rulings uphold tolls. They argue north of Woodlands Lake would better serve nearby communities and advocate turning parkways over to the State with no tolls, noting Westchester residents are taxed twice.
