Jan. 31, 2018: On Monday, January 29, 2018, Sergio Papetti retired from the Bronxville Public Works Department.
Sergio served the village for over 30 years, and many residents know him by name and appreciate all he has done in service to the community
Mayor Mary Marvin had this to say about Sergio: “He is one of the finest co-workers one could have--dedicated, caring, and so proud of his job. He is one of the reasons why our village is such a special place to live."
Village Administrator James Palmer had this to say: "I recently had the privilege of working side by side with Sergio while on one of the sanitation collection routes and can state unequivocally that he performed his job at the DPW with the utmost professionalism and pride. He served the village for over three decades and is a valued member of the village team and will be missed! We wish him well in his retirement."

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.
While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.
Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.
The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
