Reader urges caution for Schedler development do to its uniqueness
Jane S
I didn’t ask them to build or not to build anything in particular. I only asked that the Council be aware of its geographical reality (for lack of a better description) before they decide on anything.
The property is right on the highway. A parking lot, especially if it has lights and no developed police presence, is an obvious spot for drug sales. You’d pull in, buy or sell drugs and be back on Rte. 17 and in NY in minutes.
It wouldn’t be like trouble at Vets Field or the high school. It’s a bit remote and off the radar. #4, I’d agree that people might use spike in crime, child safety, pedestrian safety, etc. to win other arguments, but this is one of the most unique spots in town and as such makes it worthy of extra caution.
Good point. Since there aren’t any other parking lots anywhere on Rt. 17 in either direction the drug dealers will want to find a spot where their car will be the only vehicle in sight. No one will notice them then especially since there is no direct access to Rt. 17.
No reports of drug dealing at park& ride across the highway from the Shed property.
The drug dealing scenario doesn’t cut it. If someone wants to be inconspicuous they would meet at a big box store parking lot in Paramus. Not a place where they would stand out as the only people in the area.
I’m waiting for someone to blame Valley for this one.
Nah not Valley it’s George Bushes fault
I think we’ve given this topic all the consideration it is DUE!
Only thing left is for someone to launch a council campaign on this “issue.”
