Dear Paul: We
first brought this to your attention way back in March. The
Town streets continue to be dirty, notably Secor Road from 9A to the crest
of the hill before Ferncliff Cemetary. It has been reported to the
proper department many times but there is always an excuse as to why it
hasn't been taken care of. There was a time some years ago that such
a complaint was not necessary. It seems that while our taxes go up,
our services go down. Another problem
is the increase of advertising signs on telephone poles. We don't
think these poles are put up to give free advertising to companies which,
in most cases, do not do business in Greenburgh. In any case, people
who advertise homes for sale, windows to be replaced (Hartsdale Avenue and
Hillside Avenue), work-at-home opportunities (near Town Hall and other
places) should be made to remove their signs or face a monetary fine. When
I called the Building Department to complain about some signs, I was told
I had to put my complaint in writing and sign the letter before they would
investigate! Excuse me? If there is an ordinance, then the
Building Department should take care of it without a letter. If
there is no ordinance, then one should be passed. Greenburgh
is no longer green--things certainly have changed during the last few
years. We would appreciate your
comments and not just be told that you will pass these comments on to
other parties. Barbara and Bart Klion |
