Dear Residents,
Sunday, May 18th the Village of Munsey Park is proud to host the 202=5 Jimmy’s 5K Run. This fundraising event is intended to benefit the Army Ranger Lead the Way Fund. This 501c3 not-for-profit provides financial support to U.S. Army Rangers and the families of those who have died, been disabled or are currently serving in harm’s way around the world. This run is named after Sgt. James (“Jimmy”) J. Regan who was killed in action in 2007. Jimmy was raised in the family home on Park Avenue, attended Munsey Park School and following graduation from Chaminade High School attended Duke University where he played on the lacrosse team. His love of country led him to enlist following his graduation from Duke. Please visit leadthewayfund.org for more information.
The course will begin at approx. 10:00 AM at the LIRR train station and proceed up Park Avenue past the former Regan home on the corner of Morse Lane where runners will turn right to Hunt Lane and then follow Hunt Lane past Munsey Park School (where Jimmy played lacrosse) and then right on Manhasset Woods Road to Park Avenue and back to the train station.
We expect temporary road closures from 10 – 11 AM. Nassau County Police will help with traffic but we ask that you please plan accordingly.
Please come out and support this event.
Mayor and Board of Trustees
Trees are one of the defining features of our Village. Sadly however, many trees in the Village have been lost over the last few years due to storm, disease and other causes. The Board of Trustees is embarking on a program to restore some of the lost trees. At this point we are soliciting indications of interest from residents who would like a tree planted in the Village right-of-way in front of their homes. We expect planting to begin in the spring and is subject to availability of funds. While we expect to consult with the individual homeowners about the variety of tree to be planted, ultimate selection will made by the Village and depending, in large measure, upon site conditions. We want to select trees that will thrive and provide a varied, beautiful streetscape. If you wish to be considered for this program, please contact the Village Hall.
Dear Resident:
We respectfully remind you that the residents with sidewalks must clear snow and ice
from the sidewalk adjacent to their home. It is critical that all the walks are cleared.
One uncleaned section effectively eliminates access to the sidewalk for the entire block.
The safety of our residents and children depend on everyone doing their part.
If you are unable to accomplish the snow and ice removal yourself, please make arrangements
for someone else to do so or contact the local schools or churches for volunteers.
The responsibility is yours and the Village must enforce this code requirement.
Section 157-7 of the Village Code provides that snow or ice
must be removed “within eight hours after snow ceases to fall”. The time between 9:00pm and 7:00am is not including in the eight hour period. If your sidewalk is not cleared within 24 hours, after the snowstorm ceases, you will receive a summons.
The Fire Department has also asked us to remind you to keep fire hydrants outside your homes clear.
It is also important that you clear a path to your garbage cans so that the carter
can safely perform their duties. They will not pick up garbage if a path has not been cleared.
Winter has just started and your continued cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,
Barbara C. Miller
Clerk/Treasurer
