Thursday, March 22, 9:43 am, Midland Avenue: A 59-year-old man from White Plains was charged with Aggravated Unlicensed Operation of a Motor Vehicle in the 3rd Degree after he was stopped when an onboard license plate reader alarm indicated to the officer that the registration certificate to the 2016 Toyota Corolla he was operating had been suspended. The man was subsequently cited for Unlicensed Operator, Suspended Registration, Unregistered Vehicle, and Operating Without Insurance. The Corolla was impounded and the man was processed and released on scene pending his next court appearance.

Friday, March 23, 2:01 pm, Parkway Road:  A 49-year-old female driver from Yonkers struck a utility pole causing the pole and live power wires to come down on top of her vehicle. The driver was ordered to stay in her vehicle by emergency personnel, who shut down access to the area until Con Ed could respond to shut off power to the pole. The power was shut down and the uninjured driver was safely evacuated from her vehicle. It is unclear how the driver lost control of her vehicle. She was issued a Bronxville Criminal Court appearance ticket for Damage to Village Property.

Friday, March 23, 3:35 pm, Garden Avenue: A village parking meter was damaged and left on the ground next to broken glass. The incident is being investigated.

Saturday, March 24, 10:00 am, Pondfield Road:  A 23-year-old from Yonkers was stopped for performing an illegal U-turn in his 2016 Toyota Corolla. A subsequent inquiry revealed that the man’s driving privileges had been suspended for failing to answer a summons he received in the City of Yonkers. Further investigation revealed that the man also had an active bench warrant issued by the City of Yonkers Court for failing to appear in court on previous charges, which included Fleeing from Police and Reckless Driving. The man was processed at Bronxville police headquarters and then taken into custody by Yonkers detectives to face his outstanding warrant.

Bronxville Overview

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.
