For practical railroad roasons the Long Island Railroad Company will build its new station at Baldwin on the site of the present station along¬ side the east-bound track Instead of
adjacent to ibe west-bound track as it ' ing afflicted families, had planned to do. |
Nevertheless the fifty-foot wide | easement over the water pipe lines of New York City between Grand and .\niburn Avenues in Baldwin, and ad¬ jacent to the west-bound tracks which the city granted to the railroad for station purposes, will be used by the public as a lifghway; for the city has dedicated it t(i the township of Hemp¬ stead -In which Baldwin is situated - for that purpose. Traffic at the west¬ bound track in Baldwin Is heavy in the morning and there is a steady IrafQc there in other hours.

This route will aflord considerable relief to the traffic congestion on .Merrick Road, a short distance to the south.
Work on the new railroad station has been delayed as a result of the railroad changing its plans. The sta¬ tion will be of Gothic design and com¬ posed of brick and stone and sur¬ rounded witli a concrete promenade. Construction will soon be begun.
