EAST HARTSDALE AVE MERCHANTS REQUEST MORE SIDEWALK SALES
East Hartsdale Ave merchants are requesting additional help from the town: amending our laws to allow weekly sidewalk sales. I support the request,spoke to the members of the Town Board yesterday during our work session - and hope that we can act quickly. This change can help the merchants attract more people to the street. It's a small request that should be granted.

That's a great idea. It's good for them and it will be good for the residents.
I do not support changing the law. But I do support allowing Greenburgh merchants - individually or as a collective - to request an exception to the law for summertime weekends. It's important that they request specific dates in advance because additional police presence is needed for sidewalk sale events. No fees or bureaucratic craziness; just clear, professional, simple communications and expectations in advance for all parties (merchants, police, etc.)
Why do we always need to change laws!
yes, what in the current law does not allow this?
The merchants can have a sidewalk sale every day if they want. Nobody in the Town enforces the laws now. Did you ever see someone get a ticket for talking on a cell phone while driving? (I'm not only talking about the police who are always on their cells while driving,but residents also) how about walking with a grocery cart,taking from a shopping cenetr?
Summer sidewalk sales should be allowed as long as they do not obstruct pedestrian traffic. There should be minimal bureaucratic procedures to allow this and no additional police presence should be required or provided.
