Scarsdale Board Defers Parking Lot Action to October
In a late night vote the Scarsdale Village Board postponed action on using the lot opposite the Post Office for a parking area or other village needs until October 1. The move allows groups like the Old Scarsdale Association to survey alternatives and weigh engineering recommendations. A July 26 public hearing will remove the Heathcote to Wilmot egress road from the map, restoring original exit options, and the paper urges prioritizing topics like Chase Rd. parking over Heathcote Corner discussions when scheduling hearings.
