Concerned About Our Greenery

Here is a letter to Scarsdale Trustee Miriam Flissher from a Scarsdale10583 reader:  Dear Trustee Flisser, I hope you are well and enjoying your summer. I am aware of the issues at the Lowell Tooley waterfall sewer basin in Scarsdale and now understand why native vegetation is continually being cut down along the Bronx River Pathway(Greenway) and Parkway.  Unfortunately, I have been sickened by this.  It was my attempt at beautifying and sustaining what did not belong to me,(nor the village, or the county) that made me ill.

I am not looking for you condolences, I am only letting you know that I am disappointed that Scarsdale would willingly put peoples lives in danger. The soil is polluted, and the waters are poisoned.

I am wondering if anyone has truly inspected the Crane Road bridge lately. All you need to do is look at it from the underneath and see the structural problems. The surrounding wetlands around the work area has been devastated and destroyed beyond restoration.

The Popham Road bridge expansion has begun and obviously they are expanding more than just the roadway. Hopefully, they will do a better job than what they have done in the past, here and abroad. It scares me that so much faith is put into one company with such infinite possibilities of disaster.

I only wanted to "greenify" our natural areas, not watch them become a true sewer basin with electrical and gaseous fittings.

Yours truly,
Audrey Castiglione
