Public Comment

Catherine Dodge, Open Space Committee, is in favor of paving the rail-trail.  It will be easier to use and there will be better access for emergency vehicles.

John McNiff, Sparkill, is in favor of paving the rail-trail.  He is happy that Federal funds not local funds will be used for this project.

Michael Mandel, Pearl River, asked which group was chosen for design of the Cherry Brook Drainage. Flood control must be accomplished now because foundations are being threatened, as well as his quality of life.

Ruth Weber, Upper Grandview Association, concerned about taxes.  Upper Grandview doesn’t have any sewers or fire hydrants but is taxed for these amenities.  She also requested a moratorium on all development.

Carol Schelin, Tappan, talked about the need for a pedestrian bridge over a four-lane highway.

Sheila Skae, Sparkill, is against paving the rail-trail.  She feels meetings concerning the rail-trail were by invitation only and that these meetings included bicycle club members but not abutting neighbors.

Ellen Logue, Sparkill, is against paving the rail trail and feels that there are alternatives that should be looked at.  Is disappointed that the town held meetings but the neighborhood directly involved were not a part of these meetings.

Dan Logue, Sparkill, is in favor of improving the rail-trail just not with asphalt.  He is concerned that paving might lead to adult bicyclist causing safety hazards to others.  Hopes that the town will work with the residents along the path.

Stanley Taylor, Pearl River has had to spray Clorox to help fight mold caused by flooding conditions.  He feels building a retention pond or spending $500,000 for engineering would not adequately fix flooding.

Bob Hudson, Sparkill, is in favor of paving the rail-trail and the pedestrian bridge.

Sheryl Turk, Cyclist Club in Rockland, is in favor of paving the rail-trail.

Foster Bass, Nyack, co-founder of the Cyclist Club, is in favor of paving the rail-trail and building a pedestrian bridge.

Neal Grennan, Tappan, is in favor of paving rail-trail, which will enhance parkland.

Larry Vail, Tappan, shares concerns of both sides regarding paving the rail-trail but has decided paving would be best.  He suggested having interruptions of paving with gravel.

Eileen Emsworth, Pearl River, spoke regarding the Cherry Brook flooding. Her home is a high ranch, which does not have a basement; therefore the flooding area is living space. Asked the Town Board to act now.

Kevin Emsworth, Pearl River, reiterated what his wife told the Town Board explaining how difficult this has been on his wife and children.  This flooding must be addressed and it must be acted upon now.

James Castagna, Sparkill, is against paving the rail-trail.  The trail is 25ft from his property line and feels the area is a bird sanctuary.  All Town residents should share the burden of any sewer repairs.

Jacquelyn Drechsler, Pearl River, presented pictures of flooding, along with material loss expenses in Meyer Oval.  She feels all of this flooding is a health problem.

Jocelyn DeCrescenzo, Pearl River, feels the Cherry Brook flooding has caused quality of life issues, asked the Town Board to take action immediately.

Paul Davidson, Blauvelt, is looking forward to seeing the rail-trail brought up to Blauvelt and the pedestrian bridge over Route 303.

Eileen Larkin, Palisades, spoke about proposed hotel in Sparkill, rail-trail, land use boards and variances.

Betty Turk, Orangeburg, is in favor of paving the rail-trail and fixing the sewers to help the flooding as well as odors.

Watson Morgan, Blauvelt, would like the see the rail-trail connected throughout the Town.  He is in favor of paving the rail-trail and the pedestrian bridge over Route 303.

Andrew Wiley, Pearl River, spoke about insurance for public officials, appraisals for properties, infrastructure costs and the contract with STEJ.

Fred Baldus, Pearl River, spoke regarding the sewer system, flooding, senior housing, impact of buildings on sewer system and high costs.  He asked for a moratorium on all building in Orangetown.

Fran Oldenburger, Blauvelt, said building laws were old and needed to be updated.

Debbie Arbolino, Tappan, is in favor of paving the rail-trail and the pedestrian bridge.  She suggested a compromise of not paving the trail near any abutting homes.

Joseph Rispoli, Tappan, said the trail should be kept natural and was concerned that homeowners would face liability issues if trail users went on private property and hurt themselves.

Donna Clark, Pearl River, spoke about the increase in drainage problems over the past years.

Tom O’Connell, Palisades, is in favor of paving the rail-trail and the pedestrian bridge over Route 303 is long overdue.

Anthony Zacharakis, Tappan, is in favor of paving the trail.

Judi Smith, Pearl River, is in favor of paving the trail.
