This is a joke right? Anything to make money in this town. I know most people can afford it but seriously charging to park in a mud field? It was never used as parking and only recently when it was needed was used as such. Field should be left to let anyone park there for after school events i.e. Sports events and for the snow in the winter. Permit? Really Rye it just keeps getting worse and worse for you. What will $10,000 do for your budget? Will that money be used to improve that area in regards to landscape? Or is this so you can kill tailgating at football games? Which is a long Rye tradition that has been going on far longer then most of these people have been residents or alive. I really get the feeling people like ex councilman Pratt (bully), who as Football assoc press put an end to tailgating, are anti Rye and have an agenda. Shame on you Sack and the likes.
Given the general benefits of walking and the ease of walking to Rye High / Middle school from most parts of Rye, an easy answer is for the students to leave the car keys at home.
