Dear Neighbors,

                Here are a few updates from this past week on some items impacting New Hyde Park.    

LIRR Third Track Update

Trustee Rainer Burger, Deputy Village Attorney Peter Trendecost and I attended a monthly Mayor’s Meeting with the LIRR and their design-build contractor, 3TC on Wednesday, January 16th.  LIRR officials provided an update on the mega-project that is coming quickly into focus – like a speeding train approaching the crossing.

Please see important information in the LIRR Third Track Bulletin on this site.

Night Work this week on 2nd and 3rd Avenues by Wayne Avenue and South 6th Street

Night work will be performed on Tuesday and Thursday night (January 15th and January 17th) in and around the intersection of Third Avenue and Wayne Avenue and on Second Avenue at South 6th Street, just north of the tracks. The work will be done from 10:00 pm through 4:00 am the following morning. Lights and generators, trucks and personnel will be moving about the site.

Crews will be working to relocate electrical utility lines away from Covert Avenue, so they will not be in the way when reconstruction of the Covert Avenue crossing begins in March.

Lawrence J. Montreuil
Mayor, Village of New Hyde Park
