New concrete walkways, brick paving stonres, decorative Victorian lighting and trash receptacles are being installed on the west side of Long Beach Road between Tilrose Avenue and Poole Street.

“Beautifying our downtowns is a welcome addition to our commercial areas for residents, business owners and shoppers,” Santino said. “This busy thoroughfare in Oceanside will certainly benefit from these enhancements.”

The U.S. House of Representatives passed Rep. Carolyn McCarthy’s (D-NY4) bill to rename the East Rockaway, New York Post Office after a letter carrier and local resident who worked there for over 60 years. The H.R. 2079 bill will officially name the post office in East Rockaway the “John J. Cook Post Office.”

“John Cook served the East Rockaway community as a letter carrier for multiple generations of families,” McCarthy said.  “For over 60 years, Mr. Cook proved to be a model federal employee by displaying professionalism, courtesy, and tireless dedication. He was truly a remarkable individual and this will be a fitting tribute to an extraordinary man. I’m proud to have helped in this effort to honor the memory of this outstanding American citizen.”
