On the morning of Aug. 19, 2023, a massive tree collapsed in Creek Park.

I reached out to quite a few municipalities both local and statewide and received either little or no response. Those that did respond were unsure as to who was responsible.

There are hundreds of giant trees in Creek Park and my greatest concern was for the residents living in a nearby condo.

Finally I reached out to Great Neck Plaza Mayor Ted Rosen. He immediately responded to those concerns and reached out to the Superintendent of the G.N. Park District.

On Oct. 27 the Mayor along with G.N. Park District personnel inspected Creek Park.

On Jan. 30 and until Feb. 6 crews worked diligently throughout the park pruning and removing everything that had the potential of causing harm.

I am now able to sleep peacefully when a windy storm arrives.

I don’t believe this would have happened without Ted Rosen’s leadership and I will again support his election for mayor!

Thank you Ted!
