FRANZOSO: 'NO PARKING' IS 'NO GOOD' FOR BUSINESS
--C-H businessman Mark Franzoso wasn't happy Monday night as he complained to village trustees about the recent elimination of on-street parking in front of his home improvement showroom on Croton Pt. Avenue
--In January the villager manager directed a change in the village code that prohibits all time limited parking along Croton Pt. Avenue's north side; it was implemented in late Feb.
--Said Franzoso: "In good conscience, how could you do that?...I can't live without parking in front of my shop."
-- The change is said to be required under the $2.5 million proposal to upgrade Croton Pt. Ave. and the connecting portion of South Riverside north to Benedict Blvd. (PLS NOTE: THE VILLAGE SHARE FOR THIS GRANT HAS BEEN REPORTED TO BE ANYWHERE FROM $325,000 TO A HALF MILLION THAT WE MUST PUT UP; as of August 2013, it is more than a million).
--Early last month the trustees listened as John Perillo, owner of the small retail building at 43 Croton Pt. Ave (formerly Jean Jacques) asked that Croton not eliminate the parking as he said another higher end retail food shop was soon planning to open.
--Mr. Weigman said the elimination of the parking was per the DOT (Dept. of Transportation). Tell the DOT to take a hike, said Trustee Schmidt.
--Mr. Franzoso said he has retained an attorney to represent him on the parking issue.
