Mayor Brian Monahan called his village "a small-town commuter haven where people really get to know and care about one another".
Creating the opportunity for a portion of out-of-town commuters to live near their jobs would mean commutes by foot, bike or a few short stops on the subway would replace them taking up space in long train and subway commutes.
Meanwhile, at stations where Metro-North owns relatively few parking spaces, out-of-town commuters may continue to fume.
Out-of-town commuters in Croton-on-Hudson will also have to put up with the village's rate structure, said Richard F. Herbek, village manager and clerk.
Out-of-town commuters, many of them from Connecticut, also add to the traffic, particularly because a lack of space in the Katonah commuter parking lot forces them to park along Route 117, the hamlet's main artery.
Like the existing garage, which holds 1,250 cars, a new one built with Federal funds would have to accommodate out-of-town commuters who have permits, as well as Huntington residents.
By living in those towns, commuters will save themselves more than £7,000 a year.
It had to stop completely on the outskirts of town during commuter rush hours and wait its turn at "interlockings" — go-slow rail intersections like the one at Englewood.
Those developments -- often built on the fringe of town -- increase commuter trips and diesel truck traffic, and encourage people to use drive-through lanes at fast-food restaurants.
It is also an administrative and commercial centre as well as a dormitory town for commuters to Cannes and Nice.
Towns and commuter rail stations should simply limit station parking to those willing to drive people each way.
