Snow Safety Is Paramount
Heavy snow has blanketed New Hyde Park since December. And when all you hear and read in the news is “stay inside” and “don’t go out unless you absolutely have to,” I always have great confidence that our department of public work’s crews will be out in the elements to assure your safety and clear the way for you to move freely.
Additionally, your garbage and recyclables will be collected as well. Too often you hear people say “I pay a lot in taxes and I expect great service.” Well, I think we delivered and I hope you agree. Your village employees care a great deal about the work they perform and that is evident throughout the year.
But if by chance we missed our objective, we are always open to your feedback and will do whatever we canto correct the situation. But I must also thank you, our neighbors, for all of the work that you do to help make our village safe.
The clearing of snow from your property and insuring your sidewalks are passable for pedestrians has been outstanding and greatly appreciated, even if many people still choose to walk in the street. We all play a role in the safe removal of snow from our property and from the street.
I encourage you to call the department of public works if you have any questions. It’s been a tough winter so far, but spring will be here soon enough and the hundreds of the donated daffodil bulbs that were recently planted by Boy Scout Troop 298 will soon rise and make the New Hyde Park landscape alive again. And all of the new plantings on Jericho Turnpike will also bring beauty to our Main Street, which has been a never ending project, but should be completed in May.
