Tonight 8pm Tonight Upper Saddle River Mayor and Council Meeting
Agenda Here
Despite:
- the recent sewage spill in the Saddle River from upstream in NY – visible at Lions Park
- the recent flooding on Hillside Ave from the lack of oversight by Airmont Village arising from the destruction of land for a cemetery
- the potential loss of water to the homes in Upper Saddle River depending on well water from the overdevelopment of both the mikvah, the proposed school and loss of trees from the cemetery
- the complete lack of control and oversight in Hillside Ave by the Village of Airmont
Does Hillside appear on the agenda? Anyone see it?
However, in stinging act of irony a proclamation for Arbor Day is.
Despite the fact the Upper Saddle River lost it’s Tree City USA certification a few years back, which is hardly surprising. Was it the result of the tree destruction from Toll Brothers? Or the continual approval of tree removal by residents and builders and the history of lollipop trees replacing heritage trees? The clear cutting of so many parcels of land?
Reading this proclamation is laughable. Lip service at best. The charming bucolic town that is verging on being overbuilt with a fraction of the tree population it once had. So ironic.
If you aren’t familiar with the sickening environmental history in Upper Saddle River and much of this is new to you find it all HERE.
