Residents Encouraged to Provide Input on Town Website

On August 17, Town Councilman Fred L. Pollack was the guest speaker at the Twin Pines Kayak Club’s meeting in the Community Chest Building, gathering input and ideas from everyone who attended for the Town of North Hempstead’s Blueway Trail, which will allow kayakers greater access to the town’s expansive waterways. The proposed Blueway Trail, which is a water path with launch points that is developed around an abundance of scenery and land based attractions, would be the first of its kind on Long Island. Town officials say that it will provide opportunities for recreation, environmental stewardship, education, tourism, wildlife viewing and connections to other recreational trails in the area.
