News from the Neighborhoods

Little bits from lots of places . . . and bigger parking tickets

 

 

Larchmont Village

Free Parking.  Two hour parking on Village business area streets was extended to June 30, 2010.   

Shove(l) It.  Remember: the Village of Larchmont Code requires sidewalks to be shoveled within 24 hours of a storm.

Register to vote in the March 16, 2010 Village election for Mayor and two Trustees. Registration forms are due to the County Board of Elections by March 5 if you want to vote in the upcoming thus-far uncontested election.

New Deli.   Larchmont Deli & Catering opened February 9th at 145 Chatsworth Avenue.

 

 

Mamaroneck Village

Parking Violations More Expensive.  At the February 8 Village Board of Trustee meeting, the Board adopted higher fees, nearly tripling the cost of illegally parking in a handicapped space from $55 to $150.  Metered parking violations now will cost $20, up from $15, but a second violation within 24 hours will be $25 (up from $20).  

A hearing on increasing parking meter rates on Halstead Avenue was scheduled for February 22, 2010. 

Also increased were charges for returned checks.  The Village now will charge $20 plus whatever the bank charge is, currently around $35.   

 

 

New Rochelle Notes

Pay Now not Later.  New Rochelle Mayor Noam Bramson announced changes to a land disposition agreement with AvalonBay Communities  (with two high rise apartment buildings downtown) that will accelerate payments due to the City.  AvalonBay has agreed to make its so-called Final Land Payments, which had been scheduled for 2029 and 2035, over the next four years:  $3,000,000 this year and roughly $1.5 million annually for 2011 through 2014, for a total of about $9,000,000.
