Check in on our neighbors in Yonkers who have serious concerns over Ratner's proposal to build a mixed use development (promising jobs, NO hoops and housing). The plan requires a city zoning change as the last step in the approval process.
YONKERS — The Yonkers City Council last night fought over and ultimately stalled a critical vote needed to build the proposed $600 million Ridge Hill Village development.
Republican Council members John Murtagh and Dee Barbato, whose Sixth District includes Ridge Hill, have been adamant that the council should not vote on the zoning proposal until it has a chance to meet with and digest input from entities like the state Department of Transportation to discuss traffic and other lingering concerns.
