Dear Residents,
I hope you are enjoying the Summer. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, I wanted to give you an update on the repaving and road restoration projects underway in the Village.
· As you can see, repaving on the eastern and western ends of Park Avenue was completed earlier this week. In addition, we have completed repaving Bartlett Drive, Morse Lane and portions of Manhasset Woods, Abbey and Trumbull Roads. We are happy with the result and hope you are too. The contractor will soon paint stop-lines and crosswalks where appropriate on Park Avenue. Except as noted below, the Village has decided not to re-paint the double yellow lines that previously appeared on Park Avenue and portions of Abbey Road. Historically, these roads didn’t always have the double lines and good traffic management protocols do not mandate them on these streets. Nonetheless, we will paint the double lines on the portions of Park Avenue as the road ascends the hill and where it has a 90-degree turn near Port Blvd.
· Concrete restoration work is proceeding on the following streets: Revere, Remington, Hunt, Whistler, Durand, Homer, Alston and Sargent. We understand that the inconvenience for some homeowners on these streets may be particularly acute as access to driveways and walkways is limited but the project is moving along well and should be completed soon. In the interim, we appreciate your cooperation.
· We are expecting the repaving of the following streets to begin on or about mid-August: Park Avenue (from MWR to the Abbey Road traffic light), Abbey Road (from Hunt Lane to MP School), Whistler Road, Hunt Lane, Martin Place (including new Belgian block curbing) and Peale Road. Once we have a definite start date, we will let you know.
· As mentioned in an earlier communication, National Grid is scoping out gas main replacement work on Ryder Road (from MWR to Thayer Road) and Thayer Road (from Ryder to Ridge Crescent). At this point we do not expect this work to be completed before mid-October which will likely push repaving of the affected streets into next Spring. The situation is evolving and we’ll share information as we receive it.
· Finally, we expect restoration of disturbed landscape area adjacent to the roads to be completed as soon as conditions allow for it. We appreciate your patience.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to Village Hall if you have any questions or concerns.
Respectfully,
Lawrence A. Ceriello, Mayor
Village of Munsey Park
