Your Letters: New Roads and the Revaluation

This letter was sent to the Scarsdale Village Manager, the Engineering Department and the Public Works Department by Emily Gilman of Ogden Road and is copied below:

Gentlemen: We very much appreciate the resurfacing of Ogden Road today. It is beautiful and we hope that it can stay that way for a long while. It was a long and arduous process mainly for the workers but also for the residents as we lived daily for months with the rough conditions which had detracted from our expectations befitting the wonderful Village/Town of Scarsdale. May I recommend that you spend more time informing other residents who are awaiting the same process of repaving with more details so that they can manage their expectations on a timetable? I realize that there are certain "unknowns" given the contractors and the weather, but the more information given to residents the better.

Thank you again for being responsive to our needs.

Sincerely,

Emily Gilman
Ogden Road

Regarding the recent flawed and inadequately documented revaluation, it seems that there is a reasonable basis for invalidating the most recent Ryan update. It there is a way to do this legally it appears that this is the way to proceed and would be fair to the vast majority of taxpayers. Individual taxpayers will still have the option to grieve assessments under the previous Tyler revaluation.
