A big issue during Hurricane Sandy was local government communication of information during and after the storm. Without power communication was difficult. Telephones, internet and cable TV weren't working and residents felt cutoff from the world. A sole purpose Nassau County emergency broadcast radio station would have helped residents stay informed. Many could have listened on battery operated radios or in their cars to find out what was happening during those difficult first few days.

It is totally insane and ridiculous that there is no arrow to turn left on to roslyn rd from i.u. Willets. During rush hour its one car per light because you cannot see behind any cars making the left turn. In favor of a 10-15 second left arrow signal??? Cmon, its a must!!

Take a drive on Old Country Rd. in Westbury, heading west toward the Merrick Ave./Post Ave. intersection. The 2 standard lanes expand to 4, with the leftmost 2 becoming turning lanes. New signs were installed above to indicate the 2 turning lanes and the 2 straight through lanes.
The only problem, these signs are directly alligned with the traffic lights at this intersection. You can't see the traffic lights until your vehicle is a few hundred feet from the corner. What bonehead didn't realize they were creating an obstruction?
