The Board members of Save Our Village have devoted a year of their lives to researching the third track issue that will dramatically change New Hyde Park forever. Following countless hours researching this extremely complex issue, we then enlightened those who were interested as to the results of this diligent research. We persevered in our attempts to educate the public at large about the widespread consequences should this project come to fruition. At this point in time, our efforts have reached the pinnacle of what a group of civic-minded individuals could ever hope to accomplish under such difficult circumstances.
On February 19th, 2008, we met with Helena Williams, President of the LIRR. At this meeting, our concerns, hopes and fears were given a voice, and we realized that our time in this quest as a small civic group had reached the saturation point. Having then informed the NHP Mayor Dan Petruccio of the issues and possible solutions which we have discussed, we placed the fate of our village regarding the third track issue squarely and finally with the Village Board.
As President of Save Our Village, I would like to thank everyone who joined with us throughout our difficult journey. Board members, Diane Bentivegna, Roseann Farina, and Cristina Prieto-Maroney have dedicated countless hours and expended great energy over the past twelve months in order for us to accomplish our mission. I am very proud to have worked with these people, and I consider them very dear friends. The decisions now rest in the hands of the LIRR and the public officials who represent the individual towns and villages. We wish the Mayor and Trustees of the Village of New Hyde Park the courage and fortitude to meet the difficult challenges ahead, keeping the best interests of the citizens of New Hyde Park first and foremost.
Respectfully submitted,
Robert Femminella,
President, Save Our Village
