Readers Write: One bad idea

The Island Now

Three cheers for Muriel Pfeiffer, whose brilliant letter appeared last week in the Great Neck News. In it, she criticized Mayor Jean Celender’s proposed Welwyn/Shoreward project.

I am not usually interested in local news, but since I frequently drive in the affected area, I have concerns. I have been inconvenienced by changes, which took place in the past, and will be further adversely affected when the future project is implemented.

Specifically, the opening of the Shop Delight has been a disaster. We have traffic jams, honking horns and double-parked delivery trucks, not to mention Shop Delight employees taking up the limited number of parking spots available in the area.

In the past, one could run into the Post Office, legally park for ten minutes, buy stamps or mail packages and be on the way. No longer! So what we don’t need is park and bicycle lanes to create even more headaches.

Mayor Celender, be assured you will not be getting my vote when your term is up!

Dr. Hal Sobel
