Another Pedestrian Hit By Car in Bronxville


By Staff


Jan. 27, 2016:  On Wednesday, January 20, at about 11:27 am, police responded to Pondfield Road and Tanglewylde Avenue to investigate an automobile accident involving a pedestrian.

The investigation revealed that a 50-year-old Midland Gardens resident had been struck by a 2010 Land Rover while crossing Pondfield Road from the corner of Tanglewylde Avenue with the Objects and Images business. The victim suffered non-life-threatening injuries to her leg and head and was transported to NewYork-Presbyterian/Lawrence Hospital by EVAC. The driver of the Land Rover, a 68-year-old Valley Road resident, was not charged and the investigation is ongoing.

This is the third pedestrian hit by a car in Bronxville in less than two months. In the first, on December 9, a Bronxville mother who was crossing at the crosswalk near Zen Spa was struck. She sustained injuries to her feet and knees and is recovering. In the second, on January 5, a seven-year-old child was struck by a vehicle on Masterton Road. The child had minor bumps and bruises.

Pedestrian safety has been a concern of the mayor's, and in her January 13 column, Mayor Mary Marvin wrote about vehicles and safety and provided some safety tips. Click here for the link:  Mayor Mary Marvin on pedestrian/vehicle safety.

Bronxville Overview

Bronxville is a quaint village (one square mile) located just 16 miles north of midtown Manhattan (roughly 30 minutes on the train) and has a population of approximately 6,500. It is known as a premier community with an excellent public school (K-12) and easy access to Manhattan. Bronxville offers many amenities including an attractive business district, a hospital (Lawrence Hospital), public paddle and tennis courts, fine dining at local restaurants, two private country clubs and a community library.

While the earliest settlers of Bronxville date back to the first half of the 18th century, the history of the modern suburb of Bronxville began in 1890 when William Van Duzer Lawrence purchased a farm and commissioned the architect, William A. Bates, to design a planned community of houses for well-known artists and professionals that became a thriving art colony. This community, now called Lawrence Park, is listed on the National register of Historic Places and many of the homes still have artists’ studios. A neighborhood association within Lawrence Park called “The Hilltop Association” keeps this heritage alive with art shows and other events for neighbors.

Bronxville offers many charming neighborhoods as well as a variety of living options for residents including single family homes, town houses, cooperatives and condominiums. One of the chief benefits of living in “the village” is that your children can attend the Bronxville School.

The Bronxville postal zone (10708, known as “Bronxville PO”) includes the village of Bronxville as well as the Chester Heights section of Eastchester, parts of Tuckahoe and the Lawrence Park West, Cedar Knolls, Armour Villa and Longvale sections of Yonkers. Many of these areas have their own distinct character. For instance, the Armour Villa section has many historic homes and even has its own newsletter called “The Villa Voice” which reports on neighborhood news.
