CHAMPIONSHIP SEASON

Meetings set for Seventh Street, business hub improvements BY RIKKI N. MASSAND There will be two “workshop” meetings held before Easter with Garden City’s new StreetScape Committee signaling a collaborative spirit. Late last year the Board of Trustees began discussing its steps to further invigorate the village’s business corridors and built on positive momentum from another summer of well-attended Friday Night Promenades, as well as address some concerns that businesses brought before the board. In an interview on Friday, January 29, Village Administrator Ralph Suozzi confirmed their scheduled gatherings for Tuesday, February 9 and Wednesday, March 23. Suozzi said the StreetScape study is focused on looks and functionality in Garden City’s business corridor. “A lot of what local governments do, besides municipal roads and parks, is ‘build and bury’ with sewer lines, water mains and electric wiring for light poles.
