Manhasset civic council discusses shoreline repairs and proposed 9/11 memorial

The Council of Greater Manhasset Civic Associations held its first meeting after the summer break and election on Oct. 14, bringing together town officials, a town supervisor candidate and a local historical society representative to discuss infrastructure and preservation issues. The closed-door meeting was led by newly elected President Carrie Klimerman, who later shared highlights with the Manhasset Press. Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena and Councilmember Yaron Levy updated the council on the Bayview Avenue shoreline stabilization project, where work has resumed after a 10-month delay in the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation issuing an amended permit. DeSena urged businesses along Plandome Road to proceed with sewer connections. The town can reimburse only work completed by Dec. 1, DeSena said, adding that town funds from the American Rescue Plan Act must be disbursed by the end of the year. The council also discussed traffic concerns on Bayview Ave
