7/27 UPDATED: ADDITIONAL INFO, LINKS & GAZETTE ARTICLE, CROTON RIVER CORRIDOR 'OVERWHELMED' BY WEEKEND HEAT WAVE

To the commenter who continues to insist that this is all somehow Washington's fault and that Croton must take the "next steps to full diversity and equality", there are a number of other local sites which will welcome your manifesto. Moving along.......

FIRST THE GAZETTE---Week of July 25th through July 31, 2019, page 7, continued on page 9; highlights only. As always, please pick up a copy of the paper and read the entire article for yourselves. The Gazette is on sale just about everywhere:

THE GAZETTE: CROTON RIVER CORRIDOR 'OVERWHELMED' BY WEEKEND HEAT WAVE

--Situation described as chaos; the overwhelming majority were not residents of the Village of Croton, descended on 3.2 mile long corridor.
--Parked vehicles made it difficult for residents in the area to drive in or out of their driveways.
--Numerous reports of people trespassing on private property; steep slopes show signs of erosion from foot traffic; many left garbage behind in their wake; vehicles parked illegally despite signage, tow-away zones, etc.
--Some of the residents who spoke at the meeting took the opportunity to voice opposition to a proposal from the village's Diversity and Inclusion advisory committee to open village parks to non residents--at least when it comes to Silver Lake.

There is much more to the article. Again, the paper is on sale just about everywhere. Residents who have a problem/questions/issues with the content of the Gazette article should speak to the paper's editor and/or watch the 7/22 meeting on demand at the village website.
