Village Board to Review Downtown EV Charging Pilot Tonight

Sea Cliff, NY · April 20, 2026

Happy Monday—if you’re heading toward the beach this morning, watch for the DPW crews starting their spring brush collection along the avenues. It’s a perfect day to clear out the winter debris before the rain moves in later this week.

📰 The Lead

Tonight’s Village Board meeting at Village Hall is set to tackle a proposal that could change the look of our downtown curb space. Trustees are reviewing a pilot program to install the village’s first public electric vehicle charging stations along Sea Cliff Avenue. The plan aims to support local business by encouraging visitors to linger while they top off their batteries, but the conversation will likely center on how to integrate modern technology into our historic streetscape without losing precious parking spots. For residents, it’s a balancing act between our environmentally conscious reputation and the practicalities of a village built long before the internal combustion engine, let alone the lithium-ion battery. If approved, we could see the first plugs active by mid-summer.

📸 Spotlight & Story

  • The Sea Cliff Fire Department Our volunteer department is one of the oldest on Long Island, dating back to 1884. While the sirens are a familiar part of the village soundscape, the firehouse on Roslyn Avenue also serves as a living record of local bravery. One sharp detail: the department still maintains a vintage 1930s Mack truck, a gleaming red reminder of the generations of neighbors who have stepped up to protect our unique collection of wooden Victorian homes.
