PLEASE DO YOUR PART TO KEEP GARDEN CITY

PEDESTRIAN FRIENDLY

Residents are reminded that it is their responsibility to maintain the shrubs and trees on their property to assure that branches do not overhang and obstruct the Incorporated Village by doing your part to keep Garden City a pedestrian friendly community.

OUTDOOR DINING: A BIG HIT

It is wonderful to see so many Garden City residents as well as visitors to our Village enjoying alfresco dining on New Hyde Park Road, Franklin Avenue and Seventh Street. This year there are thirty-one businesses which have permits. There is no doubt that alfresco dining is an overwhelming success. I encourage residents to come early and combine shopping with dining outside at their favorite place. The outdoor dining will continue through the month of November.
