Any developer that comes forward with a new proposal will face citizen concerns about overcrowding:

1. A development with too many units for the site.
2. More units means more traffic.

Scenic Hudson sees some potential solutions

1. A 750-unit development would have a density similar to the adjacent lower village.
2. Existing streets can better support this level of density.

Any large-scale development on the waterfront will need to be carefully managed to avoid overcrowding.

“We're deeply concerned by the density of this project, which would increase the village population by a third.”
