Mr. DeFeo explained that space rentals are high and his rent prices would be too low to cover the cost. Mr. DeFeo asked about Van Guilder Street. Could it be used to park overnight. Lt. Anderson stated that it is a paper street. Mr. Mari stated that it was something that could be looked at . Mr. Lobl pointed out that it would mean people would have to cross the Boston Post Rd.

He questioned if there was a sign posted at the border of New Rochelle in the Town of Mamaroneck stating that there is no overnight parking in the Town. Lt. Anderson will check into this .
