Expansion Concerns

We have been Rye residents for over 45 years and our family has taken advantage of many of the programs that the Rye Art Center has offered. However, we are very concerned about the expansion, and zoning changes to create the new Rye Art Center facility as proposed.

As residents of Blind Brook Lodge we are keenly aware of the existing traffic patterns that now exist. The increase in traffic with the proposal of enhanced programming and building expansion in addition to the requirement for adequate parking raises the potential for a number of safety hazards. In addition, the proposed commercial structure that will be replacing the existing current home will be out of character in a residential setting.
