Well, finally

A couple years of bickering, and back-and-forth in court, and finally a settlement announced in August.
Now, we’ll see tomorrow, some action to fix the construction mess in front of the Tappan firehouse. It’s all over a disputed curb: The county put in a curb in front of the firehouse parking lot during a hamlet revitalization plan. The firefighters didn’t want it; they say it impedes their response time because volunteer firefighters can’t pull into the parking lot as quickly responding to a fire call.
Today, the County Executive sent this:

MEDIA ADVISORY
Road work to begin Sept. 9th at Tappan Firehouse site
New City, NY – County Executive C. Scott Vanderhoef and the Rockland County Highway Department announce today that road work in front of the Tappan Fire House will begin Wednesday, September 9, 2009, weather permitting.
The County Highway Department will be on-site at Washington and Main Streets tomorrow, removing existing curb and sidewalk in preparation for the contractor to resume work setting the new granite curb and brick sidewalk. Materials have been ordered by the contractor to finish the work, which should be completed by the end of this month.
One lane on Main Street will be closed for safety during construction, but will re-open at the end of the workday.
The New York State Supreme Court will lift an injunction originally set in March 2009, allowing the County’s contractor to begin road and sidewalk re-construction at the site.
Vanderhoef once again thanked the residents of Tappan for their patience and assured them that the situation will be remedied by the end of this month.
