Not long ago, Meineke Muffler maintained a business at the bottom of Lawrence Avenue, facing Route 9. The business was sold and the sign now reads "Sleepy Hollow Auto Repair". The present owner has made Lawrence Avenue his personal business parking lot with every conceivable vehicle, i.e. vans, trucks, limos, cars. He uses 10 to 12 parking spaces every day and even conducts business on our street by checking out his cars; i.e. hood up, checking oil, etc. At 4 p.m. each day he has his worker change the cars to the opposite side of the street, just prior to residents coming home from work. Parking was a problem prior to this man's illegal use of our street, now it is a disaster. This man's business and cars should be confined to his building and not be allowed to park on our residential street A few years ago New Broadway residents had the same problem with Tappan Motors which the Trustees corrected immediately. We look forward to your enforcing the law in this case, also ASAP, and give us back our parking.
