Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Port Chester public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Gateway Shopping Center traffic, parking and pedestrian safety
Turning the old Party City into a coffee shop, restaurant and retail could add 200-250 car trips at peak, while 38 parking spaces are removed for patios. The commission wants a real parking study and traffic-calming ideas like speed humps and bump-outs before the May 27 hearing.
Marvin Place one-way to two-way conversion
The commission wants to recommend the village board consider flipping Marvin Place to two-way traffic, but needs a police department opinion and a traffic analysis first.
Nella Way overnight parking and Edgewood Park snow dump
A Fox Commons resident complained outsiders park overnight on village-owned Nella Way and asked to reacquire or lease the street; she also raised safety concerns about a 15-foot snow wall dumped in Edgewood Park where children sled. Officials agreed to meet offline.
Snow and ice removal reimbursement agreements
The village will keep plowing county and state roads and get reimbursed at uniform per-linear-foot rates under a five-year county deal and a supplemental state agreement.
