Weigh in on Burns Park Traffic

Traffic can get heavy when Burns Park holds summer events. Should there be more officers assigned to the area?

On Tuesday night, authorities had to investigate a serious accident while dealing with a huge crowd at John J Burns Park.

Two teens were struck by a car, seriously injuring one, at the same time the Town of Oyster Bay was holding their annual "Salute to America" and fireworks show.

The accident investigation closed Merrick Road for several hours and made for some difficult times for those leaving Burns Park.
