Pearl River, NY — Roadwork is currently underway on North Middletown Road in Pearl River, prompting traffic delays and detours for local drivers. The Town of Orangetown is urging motorists to use caution, seek alternate routes, and follow all posted detour signs in the area.

Crews began work earlier this week as part of an infrastructure improvement project designed to enhance road safety and upgrade essential utilities along the heavily traveled stretch of roadway.

Local officials did not specify an exact completion date, but emphasized the importance of the improvements and the need for drivers to remain patient and alert.

The construction is expected to affect morning and evening commutes, especially along North Middletown Road between key intersections in the Pearl River area. Motorists should allow for extra travel time and plan accordingly.

NEW CITY, NY — Town of Clarkstown Supervisor George Hoehmann and the Town Board will officially opened the new Councilman Mark Woods All-Inclusive Playground at Zukor Park during a dedication ceremony on Friday, June 20. The park is located at 31 Zukor Road in New City, NY.

The state-of-the-art playground was designed to be fully accessible for children and families of all abilities. Features include inclusive play equipment, a sun awning, safety surfacing, and new landscaping and walkways that ensure easy navigation for individuals with mobility challenges.

This important community project is named in honor of Councilman Mark Woods, who passed away unexpectedly last year. Before his passing, Woods worked closely with Supervisor Hoehmann on plans to bring this vision to life.

“Councilman Woods was passionate about creating inclusive spaces for every family in our community,” said Supervisor Hoehmann. “This playground is a tribute to his legacy and the values he championed.”
