The Advisory Board on the Visual Environment called for all village signage, including signs in parks, to receive its review before installation at its May 12, 2026 meeting. The board also unanimously found the proposed Sunoco-to-BP rebranding signs at 336 South Riverside Avenue acceptable.

The Palisades Enterprises LLC application covered the corner sign, canopy and fueling-area signs. The meeting clarified that the existing canopy dimensions would remain unchanged.
On the Village Board’s referral of Local Law Introductory No. 07 of 2026, the VEB had no comments on the proposed sign law itself. The referral concerned changes to Chapter 179, Property Maintenance, and Chapter 230, Zoning.
Members nevertheless expressed concern about village signs being installed without VEB review, citing Croton Landing as an example. They also raised concern that the Planning Board might approve signs without VEB review and said the sign-review process was unclear.
Under non-agenda items, the VEB described 3 Municipal Place as unappealing to the public and suggested developing a plan to improve the area’s appearance.
