Planning Board chair threatens police action against anti-development activists, but the board's final recommendations were clearly influenced by public pressure.

Activists presented the Board with a petition that has now topped 1000 signatures.

Angry anti-development protestors present petition to Planning Board.

Last night, August 20, saw one of the sharpest clashes between Planning Board chair Robert Luntz and anti-development protestors we have seen yet. Activists ignored the Board’s decision not to allow public comments at this particular meeting and insisted on presenting their “Stop Croton's Urbanization Now!” petition which has garnered more than 1000 signatures both online and on signature sheets.
