Halloran to Host LIRR Forum in Douglaston on July 18

Councilman Dan Halloran, R-Whitestone, will host a question and answer session with representatives from the Long Island Rail Road's and Little Neck branches at Giftalicious on July 18.

The meeting, which will run from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., is free and open to any Douglaston or Little Neck residents who have questions about anything from cleanliness at LIRR stations to schedules.

"Any question or concern that a commuter might have can be answered," said Steven Stites, a spokesman for the councilman. "The idea is that a lot of people have questions and have to call 311 to get answers. So, we're trying to bring answers to them."

Halloran will be spreading the word about the event at the two stations on Monday and Wednesday mornings.

Stites said the councilman plans to host a similar event in Bayside in early August and another a few weeks later for Auburndale and Flushing.
