In the wake of the harsh winter. the Village of Mineola Public Works Department has been busy in recent weeks repairing the damage.
“Over 114 potholes have been fixed since February,” Mineola Department of Public Works Superintendent Thomas Rini told the Mineola Village Board of Trustees last Wednesday.
Rini told the trustees that as the DPW has made the repairs it has also been creating an inventory of potholes still in need of repair.
“With the snow gone, we’ve been going over the damage done to the asphalt and we’ve been able to fix the smaller potholes,” Rini said. “Now we’re creating lists and taking assessments of what we need to look back on.”
In other developments Village of Mineola Mayor Lawrence Werther thanked state Sen. Jack Martins (R-Mineola) and state Assemblywoman Michelle Schimel (D-Great Neck) for work on the creation of a bill, which now allows villages to continue the use of lever voting machines for the next two years.
“The old ways are sometimes the best ways,” said Werther.
Werther announced that the Mineola Junior Fire Department will be holding its 15th Annual Paster Dinner Fundraiser on Sunday March 13.
