Sucking the Life out of Route 119

The County proposed 1,056 apartments on Rt. 119. The supervisor changes the zoning to be multi-use from commercial. Coincidence or not? A "proposed" but not ironclad agreement to build a super Stop & Shop, then a super Stop & Shop with a health club, then a super Stop & Shop, health club and retail stores. It keeps growing at each meeting. And why is that? The Delbello law firm petitioned to have the zoning changed for their client. The same thing was done for Westhab at 22 Tarrytown Road. Hey, wait a minute... Once the zoning is changed, and there is a supermarket and several other vacant stores, everyone in government will be able to justify the housing as green because there is food and a restaurant and other stores to justify people moving in and not needing to drive to stores. Sound lame? C'mon, they're from the government and can be trusted...
