Holiday Market!

Holidays can provide quality time with family and friends. If you're celebrating Easter or Passover this week, the Pleasantville Farmers Market can help those memories include delicious food ones too. Saturday's weather looks dry and mild, the marketplace will be full of farmers and food artisans, our Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health is visiting, and also the community organization CURE100 will be in. See you at the Market!

METERED PARKING AT PLAZA THIS SATURDAY

April 11th the Village of Pleasantville transitioned the Memorial Plaza parking lot to metered parking, so this Saturday is our first with the new policy. The Village's Pango smartphone app and a new pay station are available for all metered streetside and Plaza lot parking.

• You will need your license plate number when using the pay station
• Parking meters have stickers (and QR codes) that indicate the parking zone, and parking lots have signs posted with zone numbers
• The pay station accepts credit cards, and cash (note: the machine does not dispense change).
• Download the free Pango app for iPhone or Android devices, and follow the prompts to set up an account and method of payment. There is a 16% service fee charged by Pango. The app will deliver a reminder message seven minutes before time expires.

PREFER FREE PARKING?

If you prefer free parking note the lots that are blue (free) in our Village map of parking lots. Get to know these "hidden parking lots of P'ville" as 6 out of 9 offering free parking. Between all these parking lots and dozens of street meters, there are over 400 parking spaces available. Review them all by clicking here to view our Village map of parking lot locations.

NEW PARKING PATTERN

Since April 2 the marketplace has been located in the south end of Memorial Plaza (near to Bedford Road) and customer parking has been relocated to the upper part of the parking lot. These adjustments accommodate the Village's Manville Road Improvement Project in 2022.

These local and global communities will help each other to take urgent climate action to stave off the worst effects of climate change.

Lead Sponsor Phelps Hospital Northwell Health visits on the 3rd Saturday of each month to highlight health topics for our shoppers. This week Elena Becker, Associate Project Manager for the Center for Healthy Living Chappaqua Crossing, will be in to highlight the new Phelps app Meet & Move which prompts, "Deciding to get more physically active is an easy decision. It’s the follow-through that can be hard — especially if you haven’t been exercising much or first want to find someone to do it with. Meet & Move is a new, free app from Northwell Health that lists and links you to local physical activities that meet your interests and helps you find others to get active with. It’s the perfect app for those who want to get moving with others right in their community".
