Reminder: Public Invited to October 29 Pool Project Meeting

The Village of Scarsdale Board of Trustees invites you to attend a presentation regarding next steps for the Scarsdale Pool Complex on Tuesday, October 29, at 7 p.m. at Village Hall. The presentation, as part of a thorough process, will focus on proposed programmatic elements and amenities related to the planned redevelopment of the pool complex. This will not be a presentation on or discussion of architectural design or site plans, but instead will highlight topics such as potential pool sizes and types, water features, changing areas and recreational zones, as well areas for seating, lounging and dining, all of which contribute to and will enhance the overall user experience of the future complex. These proposed programmatic elements aim to meet community needs and enhance the pool complex’s role as a community gathering place, so it is especially important that the Village receives feedback from the Scarsdale community at large. Information about this process and timeline will be shared at the meeting. If you are unable to attend in person, you can join the meeting virtually via Zoom at https://scarsdale.zoom.us/j/93183703358. We hope you will join us and share your input on this important community asset!

Seasonal Overnight Parking Restrictions Moved to December 1

At their meeting on October 22, the Village Board of Trustees voted unanimously to change the start date for overnight seasonal parking restrictions from November 1 to December 1. There will be no overnight street parking from December 1 through March 31 between the hours of 2 a.m. and 6 a.m. In the event of snow prior to December, residents are required to move their cars from the streets to allow Department of Public Works plows to perform necessary street-cleaning and emergency snow/ice removal operations.
