938 King Street
Rye Brook, N.Y. 10573
(914) 937-1020
MEMORANDUM
TO: Christopher Bradbury, Village Administrator
FROM: Gregory J. Austin, Chief of Police
CC: Sgt John Arnold, Traffic Commission Liaison
DATE: April 5, 2016
SUBJECT: Traffic Commission Recommendation
The Rye Brook Police Department has received complaints of traffic congestion on Hillandale
Road due to Blind Brook High School students who are driving to school but are not authorized or
do not have a parking space on school property. These students park on both sides of Hillandale
Road near King Street and walk to the school campus. The complaints of the dangerous
situation caused by these parked cars received from residents of Hillandale Road have been
relayed to the school district, but the district administration feels that there is no action that can be
taken by them since parking is allowed on Hillandale Road.
The Rye Brook Fire Department has been consulted and feels that although a fire truck can pass
with cars parked on both sides of the street, if required to set up to fight a fire, they would not be
able to do so due to the cars parked on both sides of the street.
Therefore, after consultation with the Rye Brook Fire Department and discussion with the Traffic
Commission members present at the April 4, 2016 meeting, it is recommended that a "No
Parking" zone be established on Hillandale Road from King Street to Beechwood Circle on the
even number side of Hillandale Road during school days.
