Dear Residents –
We finally set the date for the Grand Opening of our new playground at Veterans Memorial Park. Be sure to mark your calendar for Thursday, June 30, 2022, starting at 4:00 pm. In addition to the unveiling of the park’s name, there will be music, a food truck, an ice cream truck, and some POP-A-LICIOUS popcorn, so bring your appetite and be ready to have some fun as we celebrate the new playground. To steal a line from the Pointer Sisters, "I'm so excited!"
The playground is perfect for all of you with little ones looking for things to do this summer without having to drive too far from home. And, if all goes well, we will have a new splash pad in place by the summer of 2023.
As the work on Middletown Road continues, I want to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. I think it is a good time to remind everyone why the Town undertook this project. Many years ago, after 3 pedestrians were killed, another seriously injured, and a lawsuit brought against the Town, the Town hired professional traffic engineers to develop a plan to make the road safer. As someone who has lived in Pearl River for 30 years and has personally witnessed the dangers of Middletown Road, I am personally relieved that this is being done and anxiously look forward to a safer, more-pedestrian friendly Middletown Road.
My office has put together a petition in support of a new playground at Elizabeth Place Park in South Nyack. The old playground was recently taken down due to its dangerous condition and failure to meet ADA requirements. Signing this petition will help the Town with its grant application and funding for a new, state of the art playground. Would you please sign the petition and show your support for a new playground? Thank you.
Happy Father's Day and Juneteenth Day!
Regards,
