New Meters in Port Washington; Fees Changed for Film Crews

News from North Hempstead.

If you missed Tuesday night's Town of North Hempstead meeting, here are the highlights:

  • Two parking meters will be added in Port Washington – one in the Frank's parking lot and one in the lot behind the Dolphin Bookshop, Councilwoman Dina DeGiorgio said.
  • The board approved a measure changing the fees surrounding filming in North Hempstead and the duration crews can spend here. The time has been changed from three days to two weeks and the fees are on a sliding scale.
  • A no parking restriction has been added from the Queens/Town of North Hempstead border heading southeast for 90 feet on Nassau Road's southwest side in Great Neck.
  • Full stop restrictions have been put in place on the northern and southern sides of Hillside Boulevard where it intersects White Avenue.
  • A public hearing on the redistricting of the Town will be on Oct. 2.
  • The expected revenue from the Town of North Hempstead community center is $74,270. This was made a supplemental budget appropriation.
  • The town received $5,005 as a settlement related to damage to a pole at Clinton G. Martin park.
  • The town had to pay $1,520 for damage to a vehicle.
  • Bryan O'Malley has been elected to the Protection Fire Engine Company No. 1 in Port Washington.
  • Hugo Shum has been elected to the Vigilant Engine & Hook & Ladder Company in Great Neck.

This article was updated to reflect the correct location of one of the new parking meter pay stations – behind the Dolphin Bookshop.

Congratulations Adina! Well deserved.

Because of her outstanding work, Adina has been promoted to a new position at Patch. She has takenRead More on more of a regional role, but you will still get to enjoy much of her work here in Port Washington.

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.
Nassau Taxpayer May 23, 2013 at 03:55 pm
With the loss of "D-Barn", the lack of a drive-through convenience store creates a voidRead More worth filling.

There was very little publicity about the budget this year. I was disappointed that the increase wasRead More over 3.5 percent. We still haven't addressed the salary issues and maybe we never will. Until the salary and benefit package is decreased, there will never be a reduction in the cost of education in Port Washinton.
NYB May 23, 2013 at 03:33 pm
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.

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?
