From: To: Manager"s Office Subject: Form submission from: Send Us Comments Date: Tuesday, November 18, 2025 6:52:12 PM ***CAUTION: External sender.*** Submitted on Tuesday, November 18, 2025 - 6:52pm Submitted values are: Choose One: Village Manager's Office Please include any questions or comments: I am writing to express my disagreement with the proposed parking permit system in the Harmon neighborhood, in particular on Hastings Avenue between Oneida and Crest Avenues, where I live with my family. The proposal strikes me as unnecessary, onerous, and a burden to residents who currently park on the street with little trouble. I don’t notice any vehicles from non-residents parked for long periods of time. I don’t want to feel like I have to go through the village to park on my street nor have to do that should family be visiting. If there were a parking problem on the block I would probably think differently but there is not, so why create hoops for no reason? Every neighbor I have spoken to is of a similar mindset so if enough voices of dissent are heard please send out a voting card from residents and make the results transparent. ==Please provide the following information== Your Name: Gabriella Hiatt Email Address: ==Address== Street: 138 Hastings Ave City: Croton On Hudson State: New York Zipcode: 10520 Organization: Phone Number: The results of this submission may be viewed at: https://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/node/2/submission/41261 From: To: Manager"s Office Subject: Form submission from: Send Us Comments Date: Wednesday, November 19, 2025 9:14:44 AM ***CAUTION: External sender.*** Submitted on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 - 9:14am Submitted values are: Choose One: Village Manager's Office Please include any questions or comments: Opposition to Proposed Residential Permit Parking System I am writing to express my strong opposition to the proposed residential permit parking system for our street. I live on Hastings Avenue, between Oneida and Crest, and this proposal would create an unnecessary burden for residents and does not address an actual problem in our neighborhood. Our street does not attract non-resident parking, nor does it experience congestion that would justify such a restrictive system. The requirement to obtain, track, and display permits— especially when managing multiple cars, occasional visitors, or temporary vehicles— introduces stress and inconvenience where none currently exists. In addition, our household has three cars, and the idea of limiting households to two permits is unreasonable and impractical. I would also like to address the Town’s reliance on survey results. I did not complete the survey, but that should not diminish the importance of genuine, firsthand feedback from those who live on the affected street and have not experienced parking issues. Many neighbors I’ve spoken with also oppose this plan, despite not filling out the survey, simply because parking has never been a problem here, and we did not expect such a proposal to be under consideration. Overall, this system feels like an unnecessary burden and a step toward privatizing public space. With already high property taxes, residents should not have to worry about whether they can park in front of their own homes, especially when parking currently functions well for residents without any added regulation. I respectfully urge the Board to reconsider implementing this system on a street where parking already works effectively without restrictions. Thank you. ==Please provide the following information== Your Name: Dawn Martinez Email Address: ==Address== Street: 140 Hastings Avenue City: Croton on Hudson State: New York Zipcode: 10520 Organization: Phone Number: The results of this submission may be viewed at: https://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/node/2/submission/41271 From: To: Manager"s Office Subject: Form submission from: Send Us Comments Date: Wednesday, November 19, 2025 9:30:06 AM ***CAUTION: External sender.*** Submitted on Wednesday, November 19, 2025 - 9:30am Submitted values are: Choose One: Village Manager's Office Please include any questions or comments: Opposition to Residential Permit Parking on Hastings Ave I live on Hastings Avenue between Oneida and Crest, and I am opposed to the proposed residential permit parking system. Our street does not experience non-resident parking or congestion, and parking has always worked smoothly without regulation. A permit system would add unnecessary inconvenience for families—especially households like ours with more than two vehicles. It would also create stress anytime we have visitors or family staying over, since we would now need to worry about whether they have the correct permit just to avoid getting ticketed. That kind of added pressure simply isn’t needed on a street that has never had parking issues. While I did not complete the Town’s survey, that should not diminish the value of firsthand experiences from residents who live here every day and have never seen a parking problem. Given our high taxes and the lack of any demonstrated need, this proposal feels burdensome and unnecessary. I respectfully urge the Board to reconsider implementing a permit system on a street where parking continues to function effectively as it is. ==Please provide the following information== Your Name: Jose Martinez Email Address: ==Address== Street: 140 Hastings Avenue City: Croton on Hudson State: New York Zipcode: 10520 Organization: Phone Number: The results of this submission may be viewed at: https://www.crotononhudson-ny.gov/node/2/submission/41276 From: To: Manager"s Office Subject: Form submission from: Send Us Comments Date: Sunday, November 9, 2025 2:01:59 PM ***CAUTION: External sender.*** Submitted on Sunday, November 9, 2025 - 2:01pm Submitted values are: Choose One: Village Manager's Office Please include any questions or comments: Good Afternoon, I am in receipt of the letter dated 11/3/25 regarding the expansion of the existing residential parking permit system along Hastings Avenue and Young Avenue. For the record, I am opposed to any expansion of the permitting system that will affect my block at 124 Hastings avenue.

Our vote is against this proposal. I have a few questions on the proposal: 1 What is the purpose of adding the parking permit on Hastings/Young Ave, what is the behavior you are trying to elicit or curtail?  What is the concern? 2 Is the purpose of adding the parking permits to raise money for the town? 3 Will this replace the winter pass for parking on the street? 4 If put into practice will the license plates be registered with the town (similar to parking at the train station)or will there be a sticker affixed to the vehicle window? 5 Large families/spouses/children etc…Is there a limit on passes purchased for a residence? 6 How will the 4 hour limit be enforced? (Chalking tires, constant patrol by traffic enforcement, more cars up/down a quiet street, some other way) 6B What is the penalty for violating the 4 hours limit? 7 Will simply moving the vehicle to the other side of the street start a new 4 hours? 8 Will the 4 hour limit not be enforced on holidays - if so what holidays or days Monday - Friday are outside the scope of the proposal? 9 Will the 4 hour limit be enforced during the Summer (non school months) when children are home from college etc?  What dates - when to when? 10 Can Croton residents from other streets park on Hastings/Young Ave for longer than 4 hours - guest visiting friends in town? 11 3 Days for care providers, contractors etc. seems like a money maker and nuisance to residents to have to go back to the town every 3 days for a temporary pass- can this be increased to 60 days or will a  pass be required for more than 3 days?  If the latter it appears to be a money generating proposal. Is that the intent? These are my initial thoughts….Thank you Jim & Muriel Grimes 128 Hastings Ave Sent from my iPad
