**MEDIA ADVISORY**
(NEW DATE!!)
YONKERS RESIDENTS TO RALLY AGAINST UPS PLANNED EXPANSION.
Yonkers 6th District Councilman, Anthony Merante will be joined by residents,, members of StopUPS.org and other elected officials to protest the planned expansion of this UPS facility. Organizers fear that UPS’s plans, if approved by the Yonkers Planning Board would produce a safety hazard with its above ground gasoline tanks, excessive traffic and noise generated by its 24/7 operation with trailers and trucks coming and going would destroy the quality of life for this neighborhood and the peaceful enjoyment by its residents. An environmental impact study is
warranted before the Planning Board considers UPS’s requests.
Anthony Merante will be joined by other elected officials:
Mike Khader, Yonkers City Council President
Ruth Walter, Westchester County Legislator District 15
Mike Breen, Minority Leader, Yonkers City Council
Shanae V. Williams, Councilmember, 1st District
DATE: Wednesday, August 12, 2020
TIME: 3:30 PM
PLACE: UPS Facility, 555 Tuckahoe Rd, Yonkers, NY 10710
(East Grassy Sprain Rd by the construction area for the parking lot)
