Dangerous New Castle Metro-North crossing to get new $107M overpass

A dangerous Metro-North Railroad crossing along the Saw Mill River Parkway in New Castle will be replaced with a $107 million overpass. The Roaring Brook Road crossing is among 91 projects across 37 states that will split $1.24 billion in funding earmarked for rail crossing safety upgrades, the Federal Railroad Administration announced Friday, Oct. 30. It’s the largest of the grants, surpassing the $90 million California received to eliminate a crossing in Burlingame. The New York State Department of Transportation will pick up 20% of the cost to design and build the overpass. The Harlem Line crossing has been the scene of dozens of accidents. Some 9,000 vehicles and over 100 passenger trains pass through every day. What to know about Roaring Brook Road crossing funds “Protecting the traveling public and enhancing the backbone of our nation’s transportation system — our rail network — is all part of the Trump administration's commitment to move people and products better than ever,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. New York’s U.S. senators, Democrats Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, have advocated for the changes. Schumer appeared in Garrison four years ago to highlight the need for rail crossing eliminations in New Castle

Westchester Seniors Could See Property Tax Exemption Jump to 65% Starting 2027

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins has signed legislation that will let low-income senior homeowners keep more of their money, raising the county's property tax exemption to as much as 65% for those earning less than $47,000 a year. The change marks a significant jump from the previous maximum exemption of 50% on the county portion of a qualifying senior's tax bill, and it is set to take effect for the 2027 tax year.

Pro-Development Local Biz Owner: Lennar Proposal Just Too Much for Pleasantville

This guest commentary from a local business owner is a response to the Lennar development proposal, which is seeking a rezone from the Pleasantville Village Board. I came to Pleasantville in 1992, 33 years ago, when the village was a much quieter and simpler place. There wasn’t nearly the activity we see today. It was a small community, and while it had its charm, it had not yet become the destination it is today.
