National Grid will be performing infrastructure upgrades along Seventh Street, between Hilton and Franklin Avenues, in the coming month. Natural gas main replacement includes street excavation and laying of the new main, temporary and permanent restoration of any disturbed areas, replacing National Grid gas customers’ individual gas service lines, where required, and connecting the new piping to the new main. In accordance with NYS requirements, National Grid gas meters in most instances will need to be relocated to the outside of the home or business at no charge. Project duration is approximately 45 days, Monday through Friday, with non-weekday work sometimes required. The current plan is to install the main on the south side of Seventh Street, which will impact street parking; however two lanes of traffic will be maintained during the entire duration of the project. Residents will have full access to the businesses.

Police Reform and Reinvention Collaboration Plan
Garden City Mayor Theresa Trouvé thanks the community stakeholders and representatives who participated in the collaboration with the village that resulted in the formation of the Garden City Police Reform Plan. Village of Garden City Committee on NYS Police Reform meetings were held in October and November. In addition, Police Commissioner Kenneth Jackson also participated in Nassau County’s Police and Community Trust Initiative (PACT), comprised of community stakeholders and representatives from throughout Nassau. This plan was developed after a comprehensive review of police force deployments, strategies, policies, procedures and practices, and consultation with community stakeholders. This plan will enable the Garden City Police Department to continue its robust community-oriented policing strategies while working towards further reducing racial disparities in policing.
To view the plan, visit the village website, www.gardencityny.net. Please take time to review the draft and provide us with any comments and/or suggestions you may have. We value your input. Please use the following methods to provide your input to the village: Email policereform@gardencityny.net or mail comments to Police Reform 351 Stewart Ave. Garden City, NY 11530.
