Applicant says Knox box and gated access will ensure emergency and tenant access at Albany Avenue storage site
Summary
The project team said the storage site will use tenant-only card gates, an emergency gate with a Knox box for responders, and security cameras; a public commenter and board members pressed for assurances about emergency-vehicle access and traffic flow.
During the presentation on the 17 Albany Avenue redevelopment, the applicant and engineer said access will be controlled by two card gates (one entry to be closed), directional signage and an emergency gate equipped with a Knox box for first responders. Dominic, the project's civil engineer, described the access arrangement and noted existing water and sewer connections to the site.
A member of the public, Tyler, asked whether emergency vehicles would be able to get in; Tyler said, “I just wanted to ask on the emergency vehicles getting in. They will be able to get in after 9 and before 7.” The applicant confirmed a Knox box will be installed at the emergency gate and that the gate will be sized for emergency vehicles. Board members also discussed stop-sign installation on Lower Hudson Avenue and village concerns about additional turning movements from the site.
