Yonkers officials are working on a $10 million plan to build a new firehouse on a grassy area at the intersection Palisade Avenue and Elm and New School streets.

3 Bay Station 1? There goes any hope for a reactivated Engine 301, to coincide with the Downtown Development Project. And the Mayor's spokesperson, Christina Gilmartin is saying that the Ridge Hill Fire House is unnecessary (Gee, why doesn't LoHud have the guts to ask her where the $3 Million Dollars that was set aside by the developer for that Fire House is, and why the Mayor and City Council, at the time that the Ridge Hill Development was approved, wanted it in the original proposal?)

If designed right, considering the plot of land described in the article, a 4 bay station would definitely fit.  You could probably go up to 6 bays if you make the building taller to accommodate the lost room on the ground.  Meh, that's a pipe dream, though.  A 4 bay station, like the old HQ, makes more sense.

100% AGREED!!!  Ridge Hill has become a small city itself.  Putting a single engine company up there would be a world of help.  Though, it would probably easier to have a couple of those golf kart-like engines like the MTA has in GCT to get around all of the traffic!!!
