9 Things People Want to See Happen in Levittown

On Monday, we asked Levittown Patch Facebook readers to tell us what they want to see happen in Levittown in 2014.

Here's what they said: 

  • I would love for the Island Trees School District to resolve the issue of the Karpoczyk and Gallow Buildings!
  • Crack down on illegal apartments and make more legal apartment buildings
  • Enforce the speed limit on Hempstead Tpke. and Wantagh Ave.
  • So many people living in houses that are in foreclosure. 
  • I wish businesses would maintain their landscaping. Especially the large ones like target and stop and shop.
  • I wish that they would do something with the old Kmart.
  • Do something with that K-Mart building. How many jobs could an open, productive business have supplied to the community, not to mention adding to the tax base. Time for Kate Murray to do something about this eyesore.
  • Get rid of Walmart.
  • Hempstead Turnpike looks horrible with all of the stores that have closed. There are at least 10 from Gardiners Ave. to Stewart Ave.
  • Put in some landscaping on Hempstead Tpke and maintain it. It's embarrassing so ugly and dirty.
