The Village of Williston Park board agreed to ask the county for help funding the cost of a generator for Village Hall and discussed some other small projects during a meeting Monday night.
“I’d like to put a generator in this building so if we ever have an outage, we have this building running,” Mayor Paul Ehrbar said.
The board said a generator would be a good use of county funds and agreed to ask Legislators Scott Strauss of District 9 and Samantha Goetz of District 18 for county funding.
The board also discussed resident complaints, including one from a village resident who said drivers are speeding down residential Sheridan Avenue. While the mayor said there are cars parked on both sides of the street and a bend in the road on Sheridan Avenue, which prevent drivers from gaining too much speed, the board approved the installation of two children-at-play road signs.
Board members also discussed the importance of delaying possible road work to coincide with an upcoming $3.2 billion electricity transmission project to prevent the same roads from being ripped up multiple times.
The multiyear project proposal includes 66 miles of electrical transmission lines to be installed across Long Island, with some lines cutting through Williston Park.
