Traffic Woes Continue in Fulton Park

So today, Friday, sees construction of the soon to be all-blacktop deli property underway. Traffic, as usual, is backed up from the north heading toward Rt 119. Residents are held captive in their own neighborhood, unable to find an opening in the traffic congestion. We drove down our hill and parked at the new CVS to check out a phone tip we received. There was nothing happening at the County Center, nothing happening in the east or west bound lanes of Rt 119. One thing we did notice is that the deli has removed the No Left Turn and other signage placed on Town property prohibiting left turns from the CVS parking lot onto Old Kensico Road and no parking signs. Is anybody in the Town watching any of this? It appears not!

Looking in either direction at about 10AM, traffic can be seen until it literal disappears out of sight. It actually started at about 9AM and has continued up to this posting at noon. This is not because of construction at the deli, or construction and heavy traffic on Rt 119, or an event at the County Center. This is what the residents are stuck with because of the over-development by our various Boards, but in particular the Town Board. It was so bad, a County utility type truck drove south in the north bound lane, went around the traffic circle on the left and up County Center Road, where the driver made a right turn onto Rt 119. Unfortunately, he drove too fast for us to get a license number to follow up with.

As the Comprehensive Planning Committee gets stalled having to look into other tasks thrust upon them by Mr Feiner , there is no cohesive plan to help control the bastardization by Mr Feiner and his Board of the Town. There’s a saying often bandied about with the Council of Greenburgh Civic Associations that states, if it happens in one neighborhood, you can be sure it will happen in others. To all of Fulton Park’s  neighbors we say beware, you might be next. Our Town Board needs to listen and help all of its residents. Then we will see A Better Greenburgh
