Why this petition matters

At its June 6th meeting, the ECC passed a resolution requesting the Town of Greenburgh to adopt a new zoning ordinance restricting the sale of tobacco and vaping products within 1,500 feet of a school. 

Currently, 3 establishments have publicly advertised tobacco and vaping products within 1,500 feet of Seely Place Elementary School or Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School in the last month. These establishments are: 

  • BP Station at 610 Central Park Ave, Scarsdale, NY 10583 (Parcel ID 8.410-299-5) (property line approximately 265 feet from Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School)
  • Cloud House Smoke Shop at 760 Central Park Ave, Scarsdale, NY 10583 (Parcel ID 8.460-329-3) (property line approximately 430 feet from Seely Place Elementary School)
  • Scarsdale Convenience at 455 Central Park Ave, Scarsdale, NY 10583 (Parcel ID 8.350-252-2) (property line approximately 610 feet from Edgemont Jr./Sr. High School)

While this advertisement is already in violation of New York State Public Health Law Article 13-F Section 1399-DD-1, the ECC requests the Town of Greenburgh take a step further and stop entirely stores that intend to sell tobacco and vaping products within 1,500 feet of a school.

Please sign this petition and join the Edgemont Community Council in requesting the Town of Greenburgh take action!
