It's been a project um that 300 00:11:26,079 --> 00:11:28,079 we've been really pushing for to get 301 00:11:28,079 --> 00:11:30,399 completed uh in conjunction with uh 302 00:11:30,399 --> 00:11:34,079 David Burke uh and Frank DeMarco uh to 303 00:11:34,079 --> 00:11:36,320 make uh more of a pedestrian safe 304 00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:38,320 corridor on Lincoln Avenue in the most 305 00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,360 cost effective way as possible.

As we all know, there will be a 310 00:11:50,079 --> 00:11:51,680 busing uh issue within the town of 311 00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,279 Eastchester. So, we hope to complete 312 00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:55,279 this project prior to the start of the 313 00:11:55,279 --> 00:11:57,040 school year.

Uh 321 00:12:12,320 --> 00:12:13,920 there's been a recent uptick in gold 322 00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,639 scams. Um one of our trustees um 323 00:12:16,639 --> 00:12:18,160 contacted me and advised us regarding 324 00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:19,600 it. We did a little research and it's a 325 00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,760 nationwide scam specifically targeting 326 00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:24,320 elderly people. So this past Thursday we 327 00:12:24,320 --> 00:12:26,079 were at the community center where it 328 00:12:26,079 --> 00:12:27,600 was a nice event where we had the 329 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:29,120 seniors we presented to the seniors our 330 00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,680 usual fraud pre prevention tips. We also 331 00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:33,680 went into the new gold bar scam that's 332 00:12:33,680 --> 00:12:36,160 uh seems to be ticking up. Um you should 333 00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:38,000 never buy gold if someone contacts you 334 00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:40,560 on the phone or online. Uh do that in 335 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,839 person and with the right business uh 336 00:12:43,839 --> 00:12:46,079 intent. 337 00:12:46,079 --> 00:12:48,160 This past weekend, we had some unlocked 338 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:49,600 cars rumaged through. This is a 339 00:12:49,600 --> 00:12:53,279 preventable nuisance uh issue, low-level 340 00:12:53,279 --> 00:12:56,639 crime that can be prevented. Um we can't 341 00:12:56,639 --> 00:12:59,600 be on every single street, every minute 342 00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:01,920 of of the overnight. We are protecting 343 00:13:01,920 --> 00:13:03,440 the entire village. So, it can happen 344 00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,680 within a matter of 15 minutes, someone 345 00:13:05,680 --> 00:13:07,680 walking down the street. This started up 346 00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:09,920 in Eastchester and it kind of trickled 347 00:13:09,920 --> 00:13:12,560 down to the village here, um several 348 00:13:12,560 --> 00:13:14,399 streets in the north and got hit. Um, no 349 00:13:14,399 --> 00:13:16,079 cars were stolen, just cars rummaged 350 00:13:16,079 --> 00:13:18,000 through. We posted on social media 351 00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:20,480 reminding our residents to lock your car 352 00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,720 doors. Um, it's so simple and it's 353 00:13:22,720 --> 00:13:25,839 something that prevents um, really a 354 00:13:25,839 --> 00:13:27,519 nuisance to walk out and see your car 355 00:13:27,519 --> 00:13:30,560 rummage through andor change taken. Um, 356 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:32,320 I'd also like to remind residents if you 357 00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:34,959 do see your ring notification go off, I 358 00:13:34,959 --> 00:13:36,320 know you may be sleeping, but if you 359 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,240 happen to wake up and see that it went 360 00:13:38,240 --> 00:13:40,720 off, it probably went off for a reason. 361 00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:42,720 um may have been an animal or something 362 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:45,600 or some sort of movement. But if you do 363 00:13:45,600 --> 00:13:47,920 notice several motion alerts, so please 364 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:49,360 contact us right away so we can get to 365 00:13:49,360 --> 00:13:51,839 that area immediately and perhaps um 366 00:13:51,839 --> 00:13:53,440 catch the person that's been trying to 367 00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,279 do this uh this individual. We're 368 00:13:55,279 --> 00:13:57,839 working the case pretty hard uh to try 369 00:13:57,839 --> 00:14:00,399 to identify the individual.
