This is the most recent update from the town deputy engineer Chris Gelardo and Police Chief regarding the sewer break impacting 100 E and 120 E Hartsdale Ave.
PAUL FEINER
FROM THE ENGINEER
The current plan for repairing the broken sanitary sewer pipe at 100 East Hartsdale is to install a new section of sewer pipe around the back of the building in the rear parking lot. This will replace the section of pipe that is underneath the building, which is mutually beneficial for both the Town of Greenburgh and the building for ease of maintenance and repair in the future. The pipe would then run in an alleyway between 100 East Hartsdale Avenue and the neighboring property. However, that alleyway leads directly to a steep hill, which makes the installation of the new sanitary sewer pipe in this area difficult. The least disruptive way to install the new piping into the hill involves drilling horizontally into the side of the hill. This type of work must be performed by specialty contractors. On Tuesday October 22nd a site visit was conducted with a contractor who can perform the specialty work. They came up with a conceptual plan of how they can perform the work. The specific details still need to be developed, and the Town will be working closely with the contractors to progress the design. Additional surveying of the back parking lot and alleyway of the property is the next step so that detailed contract drawings can be developed to determine the alignment of the new sewer pipe and where best to locate the horizontal drilling equipment.
FROM THE POLICE CHIEF….
Regarding several of the requests made by residents of EHA, multiple department heads and staff met to discuss the requests and what responses and actions were appropriate.
As a result, arrangements are now being made to restripe the white crosswalk lines/bars at Lewis Ave. (at EHA) and the two at Rockledge Road at EHA. The re-striping was completed.
A “ State Law yield to pedestrians within crosswalk sign” for the middle of the roadway is not immediately available. We are in the process of obtaining a replacement for the one that was previously at EHA and Lewis Avenue. We expect to have it replace.
We cannot change the pedestrian detour signs, as requested. They are standardized, federally approved, and per the MUTCD (Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices).
The team that met to discuss the requests is analyzing additional ways to improve the crossing at Lewis Ave. The team will make suggestions to Supervisor Feiner after confirming which solution(s) are feasible and have the greatest positive impact.
It should also be noted that the Town has hired licensed traffic engineers to evaluate the area for additional suggestions and guidance.
