Comments from meetings with residents related to the Shore Road traffic safety and beautification project in Glen Cove and Sea Cliff will be incorporated into forthcoming plans for transforming this mile-long thoroughfare.

Persistent flooding is one of the major concerns residents have expressed. At a recent meeting, Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton informed residents that Nassau County’s Department of Public Works will inspect outflow pipes and order repairs where they are not functioning properly. Those findings will also be incorporated into a comprehensive drainage study which will be used to launch the design phase for the project.

To support the initial phases of this important road project, Legislator DeRiggi-Whitton recently secured $700,000 in additional bonding, bringing the total bonded amount thus far to $1.05 million.

Planned pedestrian and bicyclist safety improvements include the installation of additional and wider sidewalks, bicycle lanes, radar speed devices, and new curbs to make the Sea Cliff waterfront safer and more walkable. Decorative lamp posts, brick walkways, benches, garbage receptacles and other amenities are also envisioned as part of the streetscape. Once the design phase is complete, draft plans will be presented to residents for review and feedback.
