Rockland Responds: New Hempstead Mayor Sicker Responds to Request for More Lighting on Union Road

Dear Mayor Sicker,
I wonder what can be done about the lighting situation on Union Road between Brockton and Viola Road. It is pitch dark at night and a great danger to walk there during regular circumstances, but during the last snowfall that left patches of ice and snow all along the narrow path, there was no choice for a pedestrian other than walking in the street in the dark an even bigger challenge when I had small children with me.
This is a tragedy waiting to happen, chas shalom. Please, please, do something about putting up streetlights there, shoveling the snow on the narrow asphalt path, and getting sidewalks put in as well.
Thank you,
New Hempstead Resident
Dear New Hempstead Resident,
Send an email to [email protected], and it will be reviewed if more lighting is needed or if the bulbs are just dead.
