Lane closures on the Meadowbrook Parkway may affect local travel plans.
According to a release from the New York State Department of Transportation, the left northbound lane is closed to motorists between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. Also, the left southbound lane will be closed between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.
These off-peak closures are needed to repair the concrete center median divider and will be in effect until Oct. 26. This repair will help ensure the safety of the approximately 97,000 motorists who use this section of the Meadowbrook Parkway each day.
“As with most road work, this operation is weather dependent and may be canceled, postponed, or prolonged due to inclement weather,” the release said. “Emergency service providers and local officials have been notified of these travel lane closures. Motorists are being warned in advance of these closures via portable and overhead INFORM electronic message signs.
Drivers should use alternate routes such as Merrick Road or Wantagh State Parkway to avoid delays.

The NBUFSD BOE has not mentioned cutting bussing in over a year, it is not a part of the 2013-2014…Read More budget.
The pensions and benefits are not regulated by the BOE it is a state mandate.

So Lu Scala never had any children so it might be safe to say you have never been to a PTA meeting…Read More or a School Board meeting or a budget presentation so then you would have no idea how the money is spent good or bad. I'm sorry that your neighbors make more than you but like anything else you get what you pay for there are educational requirements for teaching and administration jobs, I'm sure you would be happy if all the school personnel could be replaced by minimum wage earners or better yet we could close all the schools after all you have been out of school for 40 years so you don't need them anymore, but thats not how it works. Why is always the uninformed that speak loudest and longest?

A bit of a surprise considering kids come home with a supply list a mile long (and average $40-$75).
