Hempstead Town Board sets June 23 public hearing for new school-zone parking/traffic rules on Woodlawn Road
Hempstead NY – A June 23 Town of Hempstead public hearing would add a West Hempstead Woodlawn Road no-parking window for school days, 1–4 PM.
The Town of Hempstead will hold a public hearing on June 23, 2026 on a proposed local-law amendment that would add new traffic regulations in the vicinity of schools to the Town code. For West Hempstead, the legal notice describes a specific no-parking window on Woodlawn Road near Hempstead Avenue during school days.
What the Town Board is considering
In Town of Hempstead public-hearing materials for June 23, the Town Board is listed as considering a proposed local law to amend Section 197-13 of the Town Code to include “Traffic Regulations in the Vicinity of Schools.”
The notice says the hearing will be held at Hempstead Town Hall (Town Meeting Pavilion), 1 Washington Street, Hempstead, New York, on June 23, 2026 at 10:30 a.m.
The proposed Woodlawn Road parking restriction (West Hempstead)
According to the legal notice, the school-zone traffic regulation would apply to the following segment:
- Location: West Hempstead Woodlawn Road (west side)
- Start point: 150 feet south of the south curbline of Hempstead Avenue
- Length: 78 feet, running south from that start point
- Proposed restriction: No parking from 1 PM to 4 PM on school days
- Exceptions: except Saturdays, Sundays & holidays
This is described as part of the proposed local-law text—so it would only become a local-code parking rule if the Town Board enacts the measure after the hearing.
Where and how residents can weigh in
The notice states that all persons interested will have an opportunity to be heard on the proposal at the time and place of the hearing (Town Hall, 1 Washington Street, Hempstead, at 10:30 a.m. on June 23, 2026).
What to watch next after the hearing
The materials frame the action as a public hearing on a proposed local-law amendment. If the Town Board ultimately moves forward, the proposed local-law language includes a statement that it would take effect immediately upon filing with the Secretary of State. Residents who use curb parking in the affected West Hempstead area during the posted window may want to plan around the 1 PM–4 PM school-day restriction and its Saturdays/Sundays/holidays exceptions, depending on the final outcome.
