The Advisory Board on the Visual Environment unanimously found a proposed Police Department flag design acceptable and supported painting the remaining South Riverside Avenue streetlights black at its April 14, 2026 meeting via Zoom. It also unanimously accepted the proposed Hudson Oven sign design.
This article is written solely from the meeting's official minutes; croton.news had no reporter present.
The Hudson Oven proposal, for 387–389 South Riverside Avenue, used green lettering between dark forest-green brick pillars at either end.
In the streetlight discussion, the minutes noted that some lights originally painted green had already been painted black. The VEB recommended the same treatment for the remaining South Riverside Avenue lights to give them a uniform appearance consistent with other black streetlights in the village.
The board also continued its review of Local Law Introductory No. 07 of 2026, referred by the Village Board with environmental and coastal assessment forms. The proposed law concerned posted signs under Chapter 179, Property Maintenance, and Chapter 230, Zoning.
The VEB indicated that it wanted to simplify the process. The minutes described the review as still in progress and said the matter would be discussed at the following month’s meeting.
