The Rainbow Senior Center will be closed today, 1/31/22, to allow for the safe removal of snow and ice.

The Lindenhurst Economic Development Committee (LEDC) has put out a survey regarding the Downtown Business District (Wellwood and Hoffman Avenues). This is a follow-up to the survey done in 2015 by the LEDC. The goal is to collect a wide range of information regarding the improvements to the downtown, as well as any additional suggestions that residents, property owners, merchants, and consumers may have about economic activity in the Lindenhurst community.

The survey can be found at the following link: https://forms.office.com/r/n0JbMqKPf4. Paper copies are available at Village Hall.

Responses will be accepted through February 13, 2022.

If you have any questions regarding the survey, please send an email to info@villageoflindenhurstny.gov.

In the event of a winter storm, the Village of Lindenhurst Department of Public Works asks each resident to do the following:

1. Keep vehicles off the road. Put your vehicle in your driveway, or ask a neighbor to share theirs. If a driveway is not an options, lawns can be used to park vehicles only in the event of storm where the roadways need to be cleared (this will not harm the lawn).
2. Try not to clear your driveway until the plows are finished. When the street is completed, pile the snow to the right of the driveway.
3. Do not blow snow into the roadway. A summons can be issued for doing so and creating a road hazard.
4. Keep your vehicle all the way in your driveway. Do not have it hanging into the roadway while the roads are being plowed. The drivers may not see it and damage to the vehicle may occur.

The Village is not responsible for any damages that occur during a snow event.

If all residents follow these suggestions, it will allow the Department of Public Works to do their job quickly and safely.

Main roads and emergency snow routes will be first priority and then side streets to follow.

For questions about plowing, please contact the Department of Public Works at (631) 957-7520 or highway@villageoflindenhurstny.gov . Facebook will not be utilized as a means of reporting streets that need to be plowed.

Village of Lindenhurst – Johnson Controls Lighting Project

Protecting the Monk Parakeets (Quaker Parrots)

Over the next few weeks, our teams will be performing essential upgrade and maintenance work on the sports field lights to provide more reliable, energy efficient and effective lighting so that our community can maximize use of the fields.

To minimize disruption to the Monk Parakeet colonies on the lighting poles and to safely perform the work, the Village of Lindenhurst and its contractor Johnson Controls have been working closely with noted Monk Parakeet expert Alison Fragale and local bird volunteer Nancy Goldstein.

With their guidance, we are taking the following steps help ensure the birds are well-treated:

Timing

By performing the work in December, well after breeding season closes in October we minimize the potential presence of eggs or hatchlings.

Safety

Our teams will create noise to cause the birds to temporarily leave the nests for nearby trees. They will return once the work is done.

Avoidance

Where possible the work will be performed without touching the nests.

On-call Recovery

Our teams have been given guidance on how to tend for any bird that is unable to fend for itself, and we have volunteers on call to rescue birds and take them to sanctuary.

LINDENHURST D.P.W. SURPRISES YOUNG RESIDENT

A sanitation crew from the Village of Lindenhurst recently met one of their biggest fans, two-year old Angel.  Angel’s grandmother, Melody, had contacted the Village to let them know how much Angel loves trucks, and how he waits eagerly by the window on pick-up days to see the Village garbage truck in action, and to wave at the crew.  In response, the Village did what they do best — go the extra mile!  The Mayor & Village Board, Village Administration, and the Department of Public Works jumped into action and conspired to give Angel a day he would always remember.

On a recent morning, instead of just waving from the window, Angel was invited out to meet the sanitation crew, and was made an honorary Laborer.  Delighted to see a real garbage truck up close, Angel was even given the honor of activating the garbage press (with assistance), and received high-fives all around from the crew for his efforts!  As a special treat, Village Officials presented Angel with a toy garbage truck imprinted with the Inc. Village of Lindenhurst name and Official Village Seal.

Trustee Patrick M. Pichichero said, “What an honor it was to see Angel’s eyes light up when the Village presented him with a toy replica of the Village garbage truck.  We sincerely hope we helped make Angel’s holiday special.”
