Bike-Ped Committee Preps Earth Day and Bike Rodeo, Raises Street Concerns
At its April 16 meeting, the Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee planned its Earth Day presence, heard from Deputy Mayor Len Simon that Project Mover's original six hubs are back in operation, prepared for the May 16 bike rodeo at CET, and raised two street items: verge paving on Hastings Avenue and a blind corner at Riverside and Oneida.
●Planned the committee's May 2 Earth Day presence: sign-up sheet, volunteer shifts, SDC yard signs, stickers and magnets
●Heard from Len Simon that Project Mover's original six hubs are back in operation, Senasqua will be operational soon, and North Riverside awaits NYSDOT approval
●Prepared for the May 16 bike rodeo at Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary, with a phone call set for April 20
●Tabled assembling a working group to revise the 2021-2025 Master Plan because too few members were attending
The Village of Croton-on-Hudson's Bicycle-Pedestrian Committee used its April 16 meeting in the Municipal Building's second-floor Recreation Room to line up a spring of public events — and to take up two street-level concerns raised by a member.
This article is written solely from the meeting's official minutes; croton.news had no reporter present, and no video or transcript of the meeting exists.
Four members attended: chair Matt Arnold, Dan Ozaruk, Barry Scheer and Dan Castner. The committee approved the minutes of its March meeting.
For Earth Day on May 2, Arnold was to post a volunteer sign-up sheet online, and volunteer shifts were listed, with Scheer covering 1 to 3 p.m. Materials were to include SDC yard signs, stickers and magnets, and an action item was set to check with Simon on whether Shared Mobility would have a presence at the event.
On Project Mover's 2026 relaunch, Arnold did a walk-around with Deputy Mayor Len Simon and others to identify placements for new hubs, and Simon reported that all is well with the original six hubs, which are back in operation; that the Senasqua station would be operational soon; and that the North Riverside site — at the bottom of the pedestrian ramp — awaits approval from the New York State Department of Transportation.
The committee also prepared for the May 16 bike rodeo at Carrie E. Tompkins Elementary School, with a phone meeting set for April 20 with Suzanne Leslie, who is proposing the event. Her requests included printing and posting flyers at local businesses and seeking donated water and fruit from ShopRite — both marked in the minutes as not likely — along with possibly a tent and handouts on the day of the event, and possibly a short presentation about the committee and its goals.
A revision of the committee's 2021-2025 Master Plan is due, but assembling a working group to review and propose updates was tabled until the next meeting because too few members were attending.
Under other business, the committee discussed a Gazette letter and a possible response, and did not get to planning for a group bike ride celebrating the country's 250th anniversary, with member bandwidth noted as a possible issue. Castner brought two neighborhood street items: a neighbor raised the pending repavement of Hastings Avenue, with some neighbors requesting that the verges be paved — a point to raise with the Village Manager and the Department of Public Works — and the parking spots in front of the former Umami location at Riverside and Oneida avenues create a blind corner, prompting the committee to revisit the option of eliminating the two remaining spots there.

The system will enter "hibernation" starting December 19th, with a presumed reopening in the first week of April.

The committee proposed organizing a group ride to Croton Point to celebrate the April reopening. Currently, 369 vouchers remain for the program, with 10% of users being Croton-based.
