Yonkers Insider: City of Yonkers: ***NEWS RELEASE***: YONKERS MAYOR SPANO CALLS ON THE CITY OF NEW YORK TO CLEAR AND MONITOR ILLEGAL DUMPING ALONG I-87 MAJOR DEEGAN EXPRESSWAY.

 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: YONKERS MAYOR SPANO CALLS ON THE CITY OF NEW YORK TO CLEAR AND MONITOR ILLEGAL DUMPING ALONG I-87 MAJOR DEEGAN EXPRESSWAY.

 

Major Deegan Expressway at Yonkers-Bronx Border Littered with Garbage Causes Mounting Complaints from Area Residents.



YONKERS, NY – August 30, 2022 – Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano today called on the City of New York and its Department of Transportation to clean up illegal dumping along the shoulder and service lanes of the north and southbound lanes of I-87 Major Deegan Expressway at the Yonkers-Bronx border. Complaints from area residents have flooded the City of Yonkers’ constituent helpline in recent months, reporting mounds of debris including tires, cabinets, furniture and household garbage are littering the roadway.


“I am calling on my fellow colleagues in government to heed the pleas of our local residents to clean up the Deegan,” said Mayor Spano. “Not only is this is a quality of life issue, but because I-87 is a gateway to the Hudson Valley, it also is unwelcoming to drivers and visitors who pass through our city. Let’s work together so, as New Yorkers, we can remain proud of our community.”


In addition to illegal dumping, commercial tracker trailers are reported to be parking or idling along the thoroughfare causing visibility issues for motorists. Mayor Spano also specified the illegal dumping, which encourages rodent infestation, is most prevalent near Van Cortlandt Park, which both Yonkers and Bronx residents visit.


“There is a simple fix: clean-up and enforce,” added Mayor Spano. “No one should be dumping on our community!”


According to the New York State Thruway Authority, the stretch of road where the illegal dumping occurs (south of the McLean Avenue exits) is maintained by the City of New York.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 
YONKERS MAYOR SPANO HOSTS 11th ANNUAL “BACKPACK TO SCHOOL DRIVE”.

 

Over 14,000 Backpacks Donated to Yonkers Students in 11 Years.



 

 

YONKERS, NY – August 30, 2022 – Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano today joined School Superintendent Dr. Edwin Quezada, Board of Education Trustee Vice President Dr. Rosalba Corrado Del Vecchio, Yonkers City Councilmembers, Enrico Fermi Principal Mark Ametrano and event sponsors to present over 800 backpacks, filled with school supplies, to the students at Enrico Fermi School as part of the Mayor’s annual “Backpack to School Drive.

 

“The continued success of our Backpack to School Drive continues to show the strength of our community and sponsors,” said Yonkers Mayor Mike Spano. “I am deeply grateful for our city’s ongoing support. This year we were able to collect over 1,500 backpacks and an abundance of school supplies for our students in Yonkers.”

 

Donations were provided by Yonkers residents, city employees, and local corporate and nonprofit sponsors including: Heavenly Productions Foundation, Empire City Casino by MGM Resorts, PCNY, Garden of Eden, Castle Royale, Fuelco, Rock & Rod’s Collector Car Club, Ridge Hill and Elite Investigations.

 

“2022-2023 in the Yonkers Public Schools is our year to foster “Champions for Children,” noted Dr. Edwin M. Quezada, Superintendent of Schools.  Mayor’ Spano’s annual backpack drive magnificently personifies the school district’s initiative.  Today’s champions are the backpack and school supplies donors.  Through their efforts, our students and families at Enrico Fermi School start the new school year on positive path.  We know that all children flourish and achieve in an educational environment replete with love and opportunities.”

 

Board of Education Vice President Dr. Rosalba Corrado Del Vecchio added, “At every monthly meeting of the Board, President Rev. Steve Lopez and the Trustees acknowledge the generosity of individuals and businesses for donations of goods, services and monetary gifts.  These donors, stakeholders from across our community, understand and act on their conviction to enhance opportunities for our students.  The children and families at today’s event met community members willing to reach out a helping hand.  This commitment to children and education by community stakeholders truly is what is necessary for Yonkers Public Schools, in the third largest city in New York State, to continue its trajectory increasing student achievement for all students.”

 

Chairwoman of Heavenly Productions Foundation, Dr. Kathy Reilly Fallon added, “On behalf of Heavenly Productions Foundation, we are thrilled to support Mayor Mike Spano’s Backpack outreach and donate backpacks with school supplies and classroom supplies. Best wishes to all the students of Yonkers.” 

 

“Fuelco devoted itself to community outreach this summer. We gave veterans $5 in free gas on Memorial Day and Independence Day and offered consumers super discounted gas for several weeks. Now it’s time to focus on kids and get them ready for school,” said Fuelco President Adam Musa, whose Yonkers station is located at 651 Bronx River Road.

 

Since 2012, Mayor Spano’s annual donation drive has distributed nearly 14,000 backpacks and school supplies to public school students. Due to the continuous outpour of support, each year non-profit organizations, churches and clients of the Westchester County Department of Social Services in the City of Yonkers are also able to receive backpacks and school supplies.

 

According to the National Retail Federation, parents spend hundreds of dollars on back to school items, including school supplies, clothing, shoes, and electronics, totaling to more than $661 per child -- a 27% rise from pre-pandemic levels.
