SNOW EMERGENCY - BLIZZARD

MONDAY 1/26/15 THRU TUESDAY

Forecasts are calling for 24”-30” of snow, with winds of up to 55 mph

• A Blizzard Warning means severe winter weather conditions are expected or occurring. Falling and blowing snow with strong winds and poor visibilities will lead to Whiteout conditions, making travel extremely dangerous. Do not travel. If you must travel. Have a winter survival kit with you. If you get stranded, stay with your vehicle.
• All unnecessary travel is discouraged beginning Monday afternoon, to allow people already on the road to safely reach their destinations before the heavy snow begins, and to allow snow removal equipment to begin to clear roads

THE VILLAGE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED

Please observe the following:

• During the storm please keep all cars off the street so our crew can safely and effectively plow your road
• Stay home, do not go out or drive until the storm has abated.
• Please check in with any neighbors who may be in  need of assistance, especially our elderly residents.

RED FOX SIGHTINGS IN VILLAGE

Many people have reported seeing foxes on their property and around the Village particularly at dawn and dusk. This is a very good thing environmentally speaking.  The foxes are beneficial to us as they feed on mice, rats and insects. In our area, rodents spread Lyme Disease so foxes are a good defense for us.

FLOWER HILL TRAFFIC SAFETY TASK FORCE

In response to residents’ concerns about speeding and excessive traffic volumes on Manhasset Woods Road, the Village of Flower Hill has formed a Traffic Safety Task Force to address those concerns and, perhaps, traffic issues in the immediately surrounding areas.  Angela Classi and Gabriella Morizio are the co-chairs.  The Task Force will develop a comprehensive approach (that is, no single solution or strategy), because that has proven to be the approach applied by communities with the most successful traffic calming programs.  This approach will rely primarily on education, enforcement and engineering.  Education will focus on changing driver behavior—ie., through education efforts and speed display units.  Enforcement relies on the Police Department to enforce speed limits and other traffic control measures.  Engineering involves using physical measures to calm traffic.  The Village of Flower Hill recognizes that livability and safety issues are of great concern to residents in the other Manhasset villages and is interested in working with those villages toward a town-wide solution.  Contact Angela or Gabriella at, respectively, aclass1@icloud.com andmorizio508@gmail.com for more information.
