2 Parking Lots To Close For Work On Hicksville's Downtown

HICKSVILLE, NY — Several projects are expected to break ground this spring in Hicksville. Town of Oyster Bay officials said it's part of the downtown revitalization initiative.

As a result, two commuter parking lots (H-5, H-6) will be closed to public due to construction. The lots are located along the northside of Hicksville LIRR station between Newbridge Road and Broadway.

Alternative parking is located at the Town of Oyster Bay Parking Garage at 100 Duffy Avenue, and at exterior lots.

"With millions of dollars from the public and private sectors being invested into Hicksville, we’re enhancing and transforming the business district into a vibrant downtown," Supervisor Joseph Saladino said. "In the meantime, we advise commuters who utilize the Hicksville train station to take note of these parking lot closures, and plan ahead.”

Among the renovations coming to Hicksville include:

• Festival Plaza: construction of a raised walking path with landscaping, seating areas and safer pedestrian connection to LIRR station
• Kennedy Park Expansion: transforming an existing parking lot into green space for outdoor activities like concerts and pop-up vendors
• The Underline: transformation of the area under the train trestle, between Newbridge Road. and Broadway, with new pavers, lighting and amenities for pop-up shops and outdoor cafes.
• Broadway Beautification Upgrades: new lighting, trees, benches, trash cans, and crosswalks.

In November, Alpine Development broke ground for a $111 million privately funded project at 99 Newbridge Rd., featuring 189 residential opportunities with retail and restaurant space.
