NorthShoreAlert: Thursday Evening Update

Meals ready to go; driving alert.

NorthShoreAlert, the mass communication system, issued the following message Thursday evening. 

  • As explained in last communique, a POD for the distribution of Meals Ready to Eat (MREs) and bottled water will open at the PW train station in morning. There is no charge. It is a drive-through. The entrance is from Main St. It will be open from 7am to 6pm.
  • Some small areas of power have returned to Main St and downtown Manhasset--not to Plandome Hts as earlier stated. As for the remaining areas, LIPA must still contend with the many broken power poles and tree-entangled lines. Some areas may get power sooner. Some may take much longer.
  • The SATs and SAT2s scheduled for this Saturday at both high schools will be rescheduled.
  • Driving Alert: Please STOP before crossing major intersections without traffic lights--the dangers are increasing! Please treat these intersections as 4-way stops!
  • The PW Schreiber Recovery Community Center is open this evening till 11pm with charging stations, warmth, and hot meals from local restaurant.

I hope the closing is only temporary. I purchased milk and other items from Dairy Barn for manyRead More years. Always got good quality products. Never had a problem.

With the loss of "D-Barn", the lack of a drive-through convenience store creates a voidRead More worth filling.

What does it matter? No matter what you do, the budget increase will pass. Just empty your pocketsRead More and move on.

Historically, that was a problem with "NO" voters...

There's a lot "Dina" doesn't know -- or sure acts like it, and an obvious and growingRead More amount she wishes the electorate didn't know about her failure to perform for PW.

if we are going to sell off our 40 spot lot why not advocate for the LIRR to chip in and helpRead More building the 2 or 3 story parking lot on Haven? with more trains and more population we need more parking. we are fooling ourselves that this is not a "Hicksville" type train station. we are a main hub and it needs a substantial parking lot that will help commuter parking and help retail parking in the main lots off of main street. anyone who does not want that parking lot built needs to really ask themselves why not. if we can build a new car wash on a main cut through street for no reason we can get this done with the same traffic nightmares!!! BTW during construction which im sure will take at least a year. where will those people park? in the other lots, so us who take the 808 train will get screwed bc we will not have a place to park now.

Apparently Ms. De Giorgio isn't aware that there already IS a "train depot" in PortRead More Washington. Thanks for the link, very interesting explanation of the LIRR's options. I was unaware that LIRR owned the West side lot which, as the article states, makes the question of yard expansion moot. It's going to happen. Ms. De Giorgio should stop posturing and start advocating for the best solution for Port residents within the limited choices.

Good spot for a multi-story municipal/LIRR garage, given the height of terrain behind it.
Bob May 20, 2013 at 06:28 pm
I agree. This lot should be open all the time. Maybe there is a potential liability issue butRead More let's see if it can be worked out.

A 135 million dollar budget with another 5 million+ assured for next year, teachers have to buyRead More "school supplies" in Port Washington? Are you kidding?
