'Parking Wars,' Stop Signs and More

Some highlights of the latest Town of North Hempstead meeting.

If you missed the latest Town of North Hempstead meeting, here are some of the highlights:

  • The Town board voted to set a public hearing for January 8 about setting a full stop on the northbound and southbound sides of Onderdonk Avenue in Manhasset where it intersects with George Street.
  • The Town received a $20,000 gift from Hybrid Films, LLC related to its role in A&E's show Parking Wars. Supervisor Jon Kaiman said the Town has been asked to be featured on another season.
  • A donation from the estate of Anne Luise Buerger of $24,000 was made to the Town animal shelter.
  • The Manhasset Park District was acknowledged during the Town meeting for its work during Hurricane Sandy in the cleanup effort. Councilwoman Anna Kaplan thanked the district and Supervisor Kaiman said that the group "worked hand in hand with our crews."
  • The Town board voted to change the October 23 meeting that was scheduled for next year to October 22 instead since Town meetings are typically on Tuesday.
  • The Town board voted to allow the EOC to have its party for children at the senior center in Manorhaven on December 21. Councilwoman Dina DeGiorgio said the group needed a space for this party and that this will come at no cost to the Town.

Good Luck Adina!

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?
