It is important to note that from our inception as of April 2007, Save Our Village's official position has always favored the at-grade crossing elimination projects in New Hyde Park. However, we vehemently oppose the current MTA proposals which jeopardize our economic stability, environment, and suburban quality of life. Once again, Save Our Village insists that the MTA-LIRR and all federal, state and local elected representatives of the mainline communities
  1. explore alternatives which promote safety, reduce roadway congestion, and preserve our suburban lifestyle;
  2. promote the best plan that inflicts the least collateral damage to family homes and properties, regardless of its cost
  3. negotiate respectfully with all citizens who are directly and indirectly impacted so that they do not suffer unfair economic hardship and can remain residents within their chosen community
SAVE OUR VILLAGE NEW HYDE PARK ASSOCIATION, INC. WISHES TO POSITIVELY ACKNOWLEDGE THE NHP VILLAGE BOARD OF TRUSTEES FOR ELOQUENTLY REPRESENTING THE COLLECTIVE VOICE OF OUR GROWING LIST OF SUPPORTERS!
