Greetings Uniondale Residents:
It is a pleasure to submit information regarding the Road Improvement – Clinton Avenue Area Uniondale.,
The Road Improvement Project scheduled for Clinton Avenue in Uniondale, New York was awarded to Valente Contracting Corp. and work will be commencing shortly.
The project will include, installation of pedestrian access ramps at all intersections, new asphalt pavement, replacement of curbing as needed and the restoration of disturbed grass areas. The contract provides for maintaining access at all times, but realistically, some traffic interruption and temporary disuse of driveways cannot be avoided. In this respect, we appeal for patience and understanding.
If affected, driveway aprons will be replaced in the same location and size, as they currently exist. If you require a larger and/or an additional apron, you must obtain a permit from the Town of Hempstead Highway Department within ten days of the date of this letter, April 4, 2008. Permits for new aprons will not be issued by the Highway Department after construction has commenced for this project. Please be advised that you are responsible for the construction of the new apron, the Town contractor will only drop the curb cut where the permit indicates. If there are questions, please contact Town of Hempstead Engineering Department at 516-489-5000 Ext. 3162”
Sincerely,
Dorothy Goosby
Councilwoman, District 1
