Glen Cove Senior Center Gets 25 Additional Parking Spots

The City of Glen Cove announced Friday that seniors are now able to park their cars in parking sports at the Coles School and take a free shuttle bus to and from the Glen Cove Senior Center.

These 25 additional parking spots will help reduce the difficult parking issues of the Glen Cove Senior Center, which is considered one of the premiere senior facilities and programs on Long Island.

“We are proud of the work Carol Waldman and her team does at the Senior Center so it was important for us to find solutions to address the needs of the center’s members,” Mayor Reggie Spinello said in a statement.

The free shuttle bus from the center to Coles School, located on Cedar Swamp Road, will be available at the end of September.

Department of Public Works will paint the outline of the 25 spaces in red and post signs for easy identification.

The Senior Center’s shuttle buses will be scheduled to pick up senior citizens at the Coles School based on the following schedule:

• On the first and third Thursday of each month, pickup will be at 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m.
• On the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, pickup will be at 11:30 a.m. and 12:45 p.m.
• On special event days, pickup will be at 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m.

For more information about the new parking option for the Glen Cove Senior Center, call (516) 759-9610.

These new parking spots were made available thanks to Carol Waldman, executive director of the center, and Vincent Martinez, Department of Public Works supervisor.
