HICKSVILLE IMPROVEMENTS UNDERWAY – COMMUTERS TAKE NOTE

Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and the Town Board announce that several projects, that are parts of the greater Downtown Hicksville Revitalization Initiative, will break ground this Spring. As a result, beginning Saturday, May 3, 2025, two commuter parking lots (H-5 and H-6) along the northside of the Long Island Rail Road in Hicksville – between Newbridge Road and Broadway – will be closed to the public due to construction. Alternative parking is located at the Town of Oyster Bay Parking Garage (100 Duffy Avenue, Hicksville) and at exterior lots.

Supervisor Saladino stated, “With millions of dollars from the public and private sectors being invested into Hicksville, we’re enhancing and transforming the business district into a vibrant downtown. In the meantime, we advise commuters who utilize the Hicksville train station to take note of these parking lot closures, and plan ahead.”

Millions of dollars are being invested into these downtown Hicksville revitalization projects:

  • Festival Plaza: construction of a raised walking path with landscaping, seating areas, and safer pedestrian connection to LIRR station
  • Kennedy Park Expansion: transforming an existing parking lot into green space for outdoor activities like concerts and pop-up vendors
  • The Underline: transformation of the area under the train trestle, between Newbridge Rd. and Broadway, with new pavers, lighting and amenities for pop-up shops and outdoor cafes.
  • Broadway Beautification Upgrades: new lighting, trees, benches, trash cans, and crosswalks.

The first privately funded project in downtown Hicksville’s renaissance was completed at 35 Broadway, a vacant office building that now offers 18 housing opportunities and commercial space. In November 2024, Alpine Development broke ground for a $111 million privately funded project at 99 Newbridge Rd., featuring 189 residential opportunities with retail and restaurant space. Four additional projects from the private sector will break ground in 2025 and 2026, including:

  • Fieldstone at N. Broadway, featuring 104 new residential opportunities along with retail and restaurant space.
  • West Cherry Townhouses, featuring 10 new residential opportunities.
  • West Cherry Street Development, featuring 20 new residential opportunities.
  • Chroma Paint, featuring 30 residential opportunities along with a rooftop restaurant.
