2. Resolution for Deferred School Tax
can we change the name to ‘hillcrest park’ please.
Gwenn’s aunt Irene got 10 million for her house MORE than full market value…why put her name on it when it was not a donation.
Great idea^^^how about hillcrest road park and lose the yellow line looks ridiculous and is useless
@amamom see another post seems healthbarn the business in the park is not the operation doing the philanthropy posted all over FB. Same owner different venue and location. The foundation is in lyndhurst nj
Park will be renamed eventually, I predict. It would be nice to take Gwenn’s name off it asap, of course.
What ever the park is called let it be a park not a park with a for profit business in using the resources of the village & the 10 acres of the park to make money. It’s criminal that she gets praise for her good work when people don’t look closely on how much she is ripping off the village.
As a resident of Hillcrest Road, I strongly believe that we should have the double yellow line removed. It does nothing to “calm “traffic. It only serves to potentially diminish the value of homes in this beautiful neighborhood.
@matt I feel the double yellow line causes and INCREASE in speed because most double yellow lines are on busy street which usually have a higher speed limit
Poor planning as usual by the town and a retaliation because of the business from the folk of the past
NO BUSINESS in a park
Enough for pickle ball, how about pocket pool. Hahahaha
Matt is really upset not because of speed increases, but because of housing value decreases…
The reality is that a double yellow line negatively impacts housing prices.
Let them play pickle ball. Besides it is. It after the hours where supposed to be quiet.
