Hewlett Neck board schedules public hearing on 25 mph proposal for non-school streets
Summary
The village board set a public hearing for Oct. 30 on Proposed Bill VHN-24-03 to amend the village code to set the maximum speed limit in non-school zones at 25 mph. The motion to schedule the hearing passed unanimously.
The Board of Trustees of the Incorporated Village of Hewlett Neck voted Sept. 16 to hold a public hearing on Proposed Bill VHN-24-03, which would amend the village code to set the maximum speed limit in non-school zones at 25 miles per hour. "On motion by Mayor Blinder, seconded by Deputy Mayor Showman and unanimously approved, the Board voted to hold a Public Hearing on October 30, 2024 at 6:30 pm," the minutes state.
If adopted after the hearing, the local law would change the maximum speed in non-school zones to 25 mph; the board did not record further detail about specific streets or an implementation timeline during the meeting. The hearing was scheduled to allow public comment and formal consideration; Village Clerk Michelle Blandino was directed to publish the required legal notice. No public comment on the bill was recorded in these minutes.
The hearing date is Oct. 30, 2024 at 6:30 p.m. The board's action at this meeting was procedural—setting the hearing—rather than a final adoption of the proposed speed limit.
