Tuxedo Park. Village Board approves the construction of a traffic security booth at the main gate
The Tuxedo Park Village Board has unanimously approved the construction of the traffic security booth at the main gate.
“I want to thank the trustees for working on the passage of the booth over the last year,” Mayor David McFadden said in an email detailing the board’s action. “I have asked the Board to consider a system to open the gate automatically for tagged cars using a system similar to E-ZPass.
“Under this system,police officers can spend more time on non-tagged vehicles and tagged vehicles that choose to stop,” the mayor added. “We will also consider allowing regular vendors to enter the South Gate to alleviate traffic congestion coming in the front gate each weekday morning at 8 a.m.”
McFadden also said the board approved portions of a road safety package put together by the Police Chief, DPW Supervisor, Code Enforcement Officer and himself that includes funds “for expressly limited signage to be available to the chief to use on a targeted basis.
“Besides, we are seeking information on changing the speed limit on certain roads and intend to strictly enforce the current speed limit,” he added. “These are demanding times with the Park at full capacity and we take your safety very seriously. Both pedestrians and drivers must also take responsibility to reduce the risk of an accident.”
