The Merrick district that serves Levittown is among areas facing higher costs as Liberty cites infrastructure needs, while local officials and residents push back, calling the hikes drastic and unaffordable.

(ourweekly.com) — Levittown ranks fifth nationwide for most stressful school runs, with parents battling congestion as neighborhood traffic funnels onto larger roads during morning drop-off.
