Update 7/6/2023 – As a result of the public meeting, the Village has hired a traffic engineer to conduct a traffic study of the pilot program changes. The changes will remain in effect while the study is being conducted.

Update 6/23/2023 – The next public information meeting is scheduled for Thursday, June 29th at 7:00 PM at the Rainbow Room, 293 Buffalo Avenue.

Back in December 2022, the Village of Lindenhurst held a public informational meeting to discuss proposed traffic safety measures to make a section of Catskill Avenue, from 33^rd Street to North Strong Avenue, a One- Way Traffic Only southbound street, and to stop southbound traffic onto Catskill Avenue from Sunrise Highway. Based on feedback from local residents at that community meeting, the Village is now planning a “Pilot Program” to temporarily test the new proposed traffic changes.

THEREFORE, NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, beginning June 12, 2023, a roadblock will be installed southbound on Catskill Avenue at 40^th Street, which will prohibit southbound traffic exiting Sunrise Highway from using Catskill Avenue. Additionally, Catskill Avenue at North Strong Avenue will be closed off, prohibiting traffic from leaving North Strong Avenue onto Catskill Avenue and traffic from Catskill Avenue heading to North Strong Avenue. A roadblock will also be placed on the western side of Catskill Avenue at 32^nd Street with a “NO OUTLET” sign so that traffic is aware there is no exit to North Strong Avenue. These temporary traffic measures will be in place until July 3, 2023. Please visit the Village website for a visual map of the changes – www.villageoflindenhurstny.gov

After July 3, the Village will schedule another public information meeting to solicit community feedback on the resulting pros and cons of this pilot program.
