Flooding has been a big problem for decades on East Hartsdale Ave. Residents who live at some apartments on East Hartsdale Ave have lost cars and possessions. And businesses on E Hartsdale Ave have also been impacted -experiencing significant losses after major floods. Over a decade ago almost half of the stores on E Hartsdale Ave had to close for months due to significant flooding.
The Town Board is working with Commissioner Garrett Duquesne to try to address the problem. At Tuesday’s work session the Commissioner discussed the next steps in our effort to reduce flooding. On Wednesday evening the Board awarded a contract to Arcadis (see resolution below).
We recognize the importance of flood control on E Hartsdale Ave. I’m optimistic that we will be successful in improving conditions. But, residents and businesses need to be patient since there are a number of action steps that need to be taken. The action the Board took on Wednesday night is one.
