The Village of Lindenhurst welcomed its new Fire Chiefs on April 6^th as Mayor Michael Lavorata swore them in to their new roles.  Pictured here (left to right) are Chief of the Lindenhurst Fire Department Paul Vinciquerra, 1^st Assistant Chief Craig Santoli, 2^nd Assistant Chief John Palermo, and 3^rd Assistant  Chief David Collins.  Mayor Lavorata said “the Community is lucky to have people as dedicated as these men heading our fire department” and said he is excited to see the growth of the department under their leadership.

Effective immediately, the Village of Lindenhurst has changed the hours that a permit is required for parking at the Long Island Railroad Station to better accommodate occasional night time users of the railroad. The hours a parking permit is required is now 5 a.m. to 4 p.m. instead of 8 p.m.

Previously, those who traveled into New York City in the late afternoon between 4 p.m. and 8 p.m. had to obtain a temporary parking permit. As Village Hall closes at 4:30 p.m. most of these occasional railroad users could not easily get a temporary permit, especially if they got home from work or school after 4:30.

“Residents who occasionally head into New York City for the evening or want to take a short trip to another Long Island Railroad community will not have to worry about getting a one day pass for the parking lots” stated Trustee Maryann Weckerle. “This change in hours that permits are required will be a good benefit for local residents.”

For any further questions, call Village Hall at 631-957-7500.
