Subject: 900 King Street Project
The Kingfield residential development behind the Reckson office building complex on
King Street is scheduled to have a total of 110 homes built there in the next 2-3 years
(first phase of 25 homes occupied in summer of 2018). This will add students to the
District's enrollment register. At this time, a reasonable estimate of school-age children
residing in this development when fully occupied is somewhere between 75 and 100
students (I acknowledge this estimate could be low).
I also wish to point out that traffic on King Street (Route 120) is currently extremely
heavy during the rush hour periods in the morning and afternoon. With Kingfield coming
online, traffic will only worsen. As Superintendent of Schools, I am very concerned
about traffic and congestion especially on King Street southbound between the Belle
Fair main entrance and Glenville Road and northbound on King Street from Magnolia
Drive and the Belle Fair main entrance. I am also concerned about exiting traffic
backing up on the Hutchinson River Parkway (North) at Exit 30 in Rye Brook. This is a
serious matter that the NYSDOT have been notified about (and has done nothing to
help remediate it
