Councilman Breen wants you to know....

Friends,

Memorial Day Events

Memorial Day is one of the most important days of the year. It is a day when we have the opportunity to honor those Veterans who paid the ultimate price for the freedoms we enjoy in the greatest Country in the world. I was honored to participate in all of the Memorial Day events. Thank you to Donna Davis for the pictures!

Legislation

This week I was happy to support a local law authorizing the sale of property known as "Chicken Island". AMS Acquisitions agreed to a $16 million purchase price for the six-acre property. The developers envision shopping, dining, retail, residential, office space and a luxury hotel. I am very happy that AMS Acquisitions shares the City's commitment to smart and sustainable economic development.

Gas-Powered Leaf Blower Ban

Please keep in mind that Gas-Powered Leaf Blowers are banned for June 1 - September 30.

Bicycle Sundays

The Bronx River Parkway will be closed between 10AM & 2PM from the Westchester County Center south to Scarsdale Road in Yonkers, allowing bicyclists, skaters, joggers and walkers to cruise over 6.5 miles of the parkway without worrying about car traffic.

Bicycle Sundays will take place on the following dates:
June 2, 9, 16, 23, 30
Sept 8, 15, 22, 29

Please be safe and I'll see you on the bike path!

Water & Sewer Line Protection

Many City residents are unaware that they are responsible for the water and sewer lines from their home to the main in the street. Unfortunately, they usually become aware when there is an issue that requires repair and often at a very significant expense. That is why the City of Yonkers selected American Water Resources as the official provider of the Water and Sewer Service Line Protection Program. You may participate in Water Line Protection only, Sewer Line Protection only or both. While these programs are voluntary I recommend you visit the dedicated American Water Resources City of Yonkers website or call them at (866) 315-4473 to learn more about these programs and the benefits of enrolling.
