2015 September:
Should Jones Beach host the Billboard Music
Festival again next year?
Jones Beach was transformed into
a vast concert venue during Billboard’s Hot 100 Music Festival last
summer. Multiple stages, pop-up bars and Billboard’s own Artist Village
yacht made the state park feel like the set of an MTV music video. This
first-time event drew an estimated crowd of over 40,000. Dozens of acts
kept the music flowing virtually non-stop on the three stages from 1 to 11
PM both days. For
more information: 2015 August:
What are your thoughts on the
Jones Beach renovation project?
Jones Beach State Park will be
receiving an additional $10 million in improvements this year, continuing
on renovations and upgrades made at the park last year. As outlined in the
New York State Parks 2020 plan, this work is part of a $65 million
revitalization planned for Jones Beach. For

April: Should the
Wantagh Avenue speed limit be 40 MPH, from Jerusalem Avenue to Island Road?
The speed limit on Wantagh
Avenue from Jerusalem Avenue to Island Road was recently reduced from 40
to 30 MPH, but the who and why of the lowered limit is not clear. What is
clear is that the community prefers the maximum MPH the way it was. For
more information:

March: Are you
concerned about the toxic Grumman Plume?
Governor Cuomo signed a bill
last December ordering the cleanup of the toxic Navy Grumman plume, a move
that is regarded as a significant step forward in ensuring safe drinking
water for Wantagh and surrounding areas. The bill mandates that the state
Department of Environmental Conservation put into place a plan to
hydraulically contain and remediate the underground plume before it
spreads further south. Underground toxins have already reached the area of
North Wantagh Park which forced the construction of several water
remediation plants in the area. If the plume were allowed to continue, it
would likely reach more drinking sources in Wantagh, Seaford and
Massapequa. For more information: 2015
February: Will you
miss the Wantagh Friendly's?
“I’ve loved Friendly’s since I
was a kid.” said one local resident, nevertheless the Wantagh Friendly’s
which opened 30 years ago is closing. The Wantagh Willow Wood location is
not the only Friendly’s that closed recently. Several locations throughout
Long Island have also shut down since 2011 after the Friendly’s
Cooperation filed for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. According to J & B Restaurant
Partners, the company that owns local Friendly’s franchises, some of the
weaker Friendly’s locations are being closed down in order to help its
other restaurants and to help dig the company out of bankruptcy. For more information:
2015
January: Are you in
favor of the proposed Taco Bell on Wantagh Ave?
Yum! Brands franchises hopes to
raze the vacant building at 1260 Wantagh Avenue to make way for a
2,148-square-foot Taco Bell with 40 seats and a drive-through. An
application before the Town of Hempstead’s Board of Appeals to construct
the restaurant was adjourned last December until February 25 to allow an
opportunity for residents to meet with the developer. For more information:
