To help with that, traffic lanes are being added and widened in the business district, and there are plans to replace the Ashford Avenue Bridge linking the village to Dobbs Ferry.

Additional improvements to roads and area parks are also planned, along with continued efforts to prevent flooding in the business district from the Saw Mill River during storms, the report said.
