Online Petition Calls for 'Development Moratorium' in Scarsdale

According to a recent online petition, Scarsdale is "under siege" by developers—and so far, some 47 signatories agree.

The petition, housed on the page thepetitionsite.com, was created by a "concerned resident" and "environmental activist" who eschews his or her real name.

But the motive is clear: "Please sign this petition and forward it to all who care about architectural and environmental conservation in Scarsdale," the creator pens.

From the petition:

Our village, one of the first to pass urban planning zoning in 1925 is now under the siege of developers, like no other. But, unlike many others, we have volunteers on our boards who are unfortunately not able to stand up to developers' demands.

Please sign this petition to show your support for better zoning and building regulation in Scarsdale and a moratorium on all development that will finally preserve and conserve Scarsdale and our environmental and architectural values that we cherish so much.

Encourage our officials to apply for WORLD UNESCO Heritage site so that our Village can be conserved forever for all.

We appreciate and thank you for your support. Mother Nature and the local flora and fauna applaud you as well.
