Ice storm tonight, Friday, February 4, 2022
Tonight and Saturday morning please be careful traveling and performing errands, and be sure to salt any icy patches along sidewalks and driveways on your property. Most municipalities have had their maintenance crews out today to apply salt and calcium chloride to the roadways, sidewalks and bridges. However, salt becomes less and less effective as temperatures drop, and treated surfaces can actually freeze when temperatures are under 20-degrees Fahrenheit. Temperatures are forecast to drop to 18-degrees F. tonight. We urge everyone to take extra care this evening when traveling either for work or for pleasure. If you don’t have to travel, it’s probably best to stay home and stay off the roads.

Skating on Tarrytown Lakes this weekend
As of this point in time on Friday afternoon, given the continued drop in temperatures after the rain and sleet we experienced today, there is a very good chance (probably 55/45) that we will be able to have for skating on Saturday. We will make the announcement by 11 a.m. on Saturday. Sunday has greater chances (80%/20%) that we will be open for skating.
IF SKATING IS POSSIBLE, the hours will be:
- Saturday 12 Noon to 6 p.m. and
- Sunday 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Check the Village of Tarrytown website for any updates, after 11 a.m. on Saturday.
Con Edison Gas Main Update
Here is the latest update on Con Edison gas main work around the Village.
- It will be another 2 weeks before work starts WEST OF BROADWAY
- No parking on Hamilton Tuesday and Thursday from Broadway to Croton – there will be gas line connection work taking place on those days. Residents with village-issued permits will be able to park in the McKeel Parking Lot on days and times when parking is prohibited. Be sure to follow the posted signs in the field.
- There is a gas service connection project that is pending, in order to connect a new service line to a building at the intersection of Broadway and Main Street. When the work is scheduled, traffic will temporarily be blocked off on the block of Main Street between Broadway and Kaldenberg/John Street.
Clean Path New York
The Board of Trustees heard from representatives of CleanPath New York, a proposed $11 billion clean electrical infrastructure proposal to install 3800 MW of renewable energy solar and wind generation sites upstate, along with a 176-mile direct current (DC) transmission line to transport the energy downstate. The energy transmission line is expected to run under the Hudson River off of Tarrytown’s shore. The proposed contract is currently under review by the Public Service Commission. If approved, the plan would undergo a two-year environmental review and design period, during which there will be additional opportunities for community engagement with the project. Expected project completion is 2027 at the earliest.
