July 13, 2015… In response to the request of area residents and at the prompting of Glen Cove’s Department of Public Works (DPW), New York State’s Department of Transportation (DOT) recently installed four new safety crash barriers in the City of Glen Cove.  The crash barriers are located at Town Path and the Arterial Highway (two new crash barriers), Pulaski Street and the Arterial Highway and at the Arterial Highway’s gateway to Glen Cove.  Featuring a new steel enforced design with high impact safety visuals, the cost of the crash barriers were funded by New York State and installed by the Department of Transportation.  “For many Glen Cove residents and business owners, our former crash barriers were an eye sore in desperate need of replacement,” said Mayor Spinello.  “Jim Byrne, Director of Glen Cove’s Department of Public Works made it a priority to engage the DOT in this critical safety issue and I am very pleased with the results and appreciate the outstanding support and responsiveness of the DOT.”
