No Trick No Treat

For the second year in a row, Scarsdale’s streets are too dangerous for Halloween trick or treating. Streets are blocked with tree trunks and debris, and live power lines are loose everywhere. Even in broad daylight, it is difficult to navigate the power lines. Darkness will make Halloween trick or treating particularily perilous. As power is out inside so many homes, it will be hard to know whether or not residents are home – and children are likely to trip in the dark.

Two neighborhood associations, Drake-Edgewood and Fox Meadow have called for an alternate date for Halloween on Sunday night November 4th. However, according to Lt. Thomas Altizio of the Scarsdale Police Department, power may not be restored by then and too dangerous to trick or treat.
