WIFI E HARTSDALE AVE

A great citizen suggestion--we should WIFI E Hartsdale Ave. Provide the avenue with free WIFI internet service.
Take your computer to the train station.
Take your computer to Lia's, Harry's, the pizzeria or Starbuck's.
Take your computer to the parking area while waiting for a spouse or friend.
Many cities across the nation are providing free WIFI access. Greenburgh should do the same.

SANDBAGS...PUMPS ARE IMPRACTICAL TOWN ENGINEER SAYS...

Yesterday, the Town Engineer (Mike Lepre) met with the Town Board. I asked Mike what he thought about a citizen suggestion--that the town make available pumps and sandbags to merchants in the event of a future storm.
Mike said that the suggestion is impractical and would not have helped merchants re: Flood damage.
THE TOWN BD IS REVIEWING ABOUT HALF A DOZEN PROPOSALS FROM CONSULTANTS RE: a flood study we will be commissioning. We want to come up with a plan of action for the avenue. What were the causes of the flood? What can be done--long term/short term?

I STILL WOULD LIKE TO SEE TEMPORARY LIBRARY ON AVE

Although many of the businesses on the avenue have come back, I have noticed that there has been very little activity at some of the vacant stores.
I am trying to contact the landlord of the vacant stores--and am suggesting that the town rent space on the avenue for a temporary library, in the event that some of the stores don't come back. We need more street traffic on the avenue.
