Last Chance in New Rochelle: Holiday Changes, Art Exhibit

Things you need to know about in New Rochelle.

There's a holiday on Wednesday. Perhaps you've heard it's Independence Day. 

Not only will most banks and the post office be closed, but New Rochelle's City Hall will be shuttered for the day, along with most of its services.

One thing that will be affected is garbage collection. According to the city's Public Works department, when a holiday falls on a weekday, collection for the rest of the week is changed.

While no garbage collection will happen Wednesday—which is a normal recyclables collection day—on Thursday garbage and commingled glass, plastic and metal will be collected in the north part of the city. The same will happen Friday in the southern part of the city.

All material must be place at the curbside by 6 a.m. during the summer months.

It seemed to me the key point of moving the City Yard from the waterfront was to open up theRead More waterfront and turn that run down and obsolete yard into a public park overlooking Long Island Sound. The westside site was the most cost effective place to move the yard. Not ideal, but no real alternative has been proposed. I don't think this has much to do with racism. All races can enjoy more of the waterfront. Any development around it will add to our tax base

Ms. Aronow, The issue is that an alternative has been suggested, Ward Acres, as it is much largerRead More and strategically beneficial for the City of New Rochelle. I don't think the recent public discussions has resulted in unanimity in terms of the waterfront being an entirely public venue for all races to enjoy.
