Lot of talk around town about the town and village of Mamaroneck taking over Hampshire making it a public facility. Yeah that’s right, that’s what these boards need, more to do, because they are doing such a good job with what’s on their plate now. Let’s see them put up a traffic light well, before we move on to more complex issues like whats to be done with the 52 pounds of beef tongue in the Hampshire fridge.
Then there will be the difficulty of maintaining the scenic beauty and quaint charm, and still finding places to put banks.

Another winter, another snowstorm when corner homeowners are NOT shoveling a space from their sidewalk out to the street! No whining about ‘snowdrifts too high’ – the upsides of having a corner lot are many, the downside is that when it snows, you have more work to do than your neighbors. Strollers and seniors don’t have a hope, and even regular folks shouldn’t be expected to scale Mount Inconsiderate. And if you disappear every winter for warmer climes, HIRE SOMEONE to shovel your sidewalks, please – the rest of us are slogging it out here.

Mike Ross,
That intersection of Weaver and Forest behind Murray Ave school is very dangerous. If you try to make a left turn from Weaver onto Forest, you cannot see the oncoming traffic because of the way the Weaver bends. I don’t think people are ‘driving as if they own the road’ there, they’re just trying to make it as fast as they can while the coast is clear. I always drive slowly when approaching that light in case someone is making a blind left turn ahead. There really needs to be a left arrow there, esp considering all the kids in the area. It’s an accident waiting to happen.

Totally agree with Loren. Who ever parks the dark Acura MDX there (every day) is asking for trouble. I have seen many near misses, and its bad in both directions. There should be no parking from 68 North Chatworth on up the hill until visibility improves.

Dear Disgusted Too and Disgusted Me2,
A separate town pool would certainly be a thought, but please don’t expect your YEAR LONG, not summer long, family permit to cost you a mere $475.00. In order to pay for that luxury, expect to pay at least that amount per person.

Let’s try to remember that the Recreation Dept. “rents” the pool in order to run recreation programs, which includes usage through the “family permit.” (And I have been told by school insiders that they are allegedly less than cooperative in paying those contracted rents. ) The pool is a school facility, just like the football field or Manchester field. If the recreation dept wanted to use the football field or baseball field for a program, shouldn’t they pay rent for that as well? Yes, of course. And, if a school team needed that field, would a rec program take priority? Of course not.

So, since this is the “complaint department,” I will complain, does ousting the school swim team from their facility, for what is now planned as 4 weeks (or half of their season) sound right? Of course not.

If I, part of the general public, have known about the asbestos for 5 months, then clearly the school knew (for a lot longer) that asbestos removal was part of the project. They should have planned around the 2 school teams and done the work between March and August. And if the HMX parents had a say on behalf of their children, then clearly the safe alternative is July or August.
