Here we will highlight the key issues of the campaign to make visitors to our site familiar with our position.

Redevelopment of 55 Westervelt Ave.
 
The land on 55 Westervelt Ave. has been abandoned for years and the time has come for some serious talk on redevloping the area to improve the appearance of the property and to get more tax ratables for our town.  Although all back taxes must be paid on the property and any redeveopment would need to provide amble parking so not to cause parking problems in the area.

 


Flood Control
 
For too long the area around Goffle Road and Wagraw has been plagued by flooding.  Studies must be done and plans implemented so that this problem can be dealt with once and for all.

   

Wagraw Redevelopment
 
More commercial buildings can be placed at the old factories that occupy Wagraw Ave.  These new commercial properties can provide not only more business opportunities but would be a better representation of the growth that is available in Hawthorne.

One Way Street
 
Many people have expressed concerns about the truck traffic on North 8th St. and with the recent news about possible development in Prospect Park this is an issue that will not go away.  Turning North 8th Street into a possible one way street may help in controlling the traffic on this street.  This is an issue that needs to be examined by the entire Council in order to find out what solution is best for the people of Ward 1.
