Saladino Invites Residents to Second Public Information Meeting for Downtown Hicksville Complete Streets Project

As part of the ongoing initiative to revitalize Downtown Hicksville, Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph invites residents to participate and provide comments on proposed traffic and pedestrian safety improvements at a public information meeting held on Monday, January 6, 2020 at the Hicksville Community Center, located at 28 W. Carl Street. The meeting, hosted by Nassau County, will provide residents with the unique opportunity to view the presentation, ask questions, and to provide comments and feedback regarding proposed changes in the downtown area. The meeting is scheduled to go from 7pm to 9pm.

“My administration is working to transform downtown Hicksville into a vibrant economic center through the use of private sector investments, state grants and local infrastructure enhancements.  Together, we will attract new jobs, create new housing opportunities and improve the accessibility and safety in the downtown area for all modes of transportation, from motorists to pedestrians to transit riders to cyclists,” Supervisor Saladino said. “I encourage residents to attend this public information meeting hosted by Nassau County as it is an excellent opportunity to share their desired vision for the future of our community.  By working together towards a shared vision, we can transform downtown Hicksville into a vibrant community for millennials, downsizers, empty nesters and senior citizens alike!”

The public information meeting is scheduled to take place on Monday, January 6, 2020 at the Hicksville Community Center, located at 28 W. Carl Street, and will begin at 7pm. At the meeting, Nassau County’s project team will be presenting its recommendations for traffic and pedestrian safety improvements within the project area. This is the second public information meeting hosted by Nassau County regarding this project. The previous public meeting achieved great resident participation offering input on the proposed recommendations for Downtown Hicksville.
