Elmsford considers Saturday time-limited parking at 70 East Main and addresses daycare driveway access on Winthrop
Summary
A local hairdresser asked the board for an additional Saturday parking space at 70 East Main; the board discussed a time-limited Saturday designation. Separately, staff described blocked access at a daycare on 101 Winthrop Avenue and the need for more parking tickets for enforcement.
Elmsford officials reviewed a request from a business on 70 East Main Street to add a parking space reserved during peak Saturday hours and considered two short-term options rather than creating a permanent handicap swap.
A hairdresser who serves a mostly senior clientele asked for an additional spot because two businesses now share an existing space. Staff proposed a time-limited parking designation (for example, Saturday mornings) instead of changing handicap parking. Board members discussed a Saturday-only window such as 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. and asked staff to explore that option; no formal action was recorded.
Separately, staff reported a complaint about 101 Winthrop Avenue, a daycare where parked vehicles sometimes block the walkway and prevent children from entering and exiting. Staff noted the daycare serves about 15 children and suggested that clearer driveway markings or enforcement could help. The board asked staff to follow up with site visits and to explore enforcement options.
During the meeting staff also said the town needs to order more parking tickets for enforcement. The transcript includes a reference to a fine of $50 for prohibited parking and earlier references to $25; staff did not produce a formal resolution or updated fee schedule during the discussion and members asked staff to review the enforcement details and any fee changes before returning with a recommendation.
