A large snow mound in the heart of Amityville Village is creating concerns for drivers and business owners following the blizzard.

A 15- to 20-foot pile of snow sits at the intersection of Union Avenue and Broadway, where it appears to have been pushed into the middle of the street. The mound is blocking part of the sidewalk and the left-turn lane, making it difficult for some drivers to see oncoming traffic.

Several drivers say visibility is limited, particularly when attempting to turn left.

The owner of Cornucopia’s Restaurant on Broadway says the snow pile could also hurt local businesses by limiting available parking. He tells News 12 this situation needs to be addressed now

“They spend so much money on I don’t know what. Amityville always does a horrible job. Always the last storm, it took them maybe two weeks to clean up,” said Jean Paul Navarette of Amityville.

Residents said they are concerned the situation could become more hazardous during peak traffic hours for both drivers and pedestrians.

A village spokesperson says the Department of Public Works will return Wednesday morning to continue snow removal efforts, with crews focusing on large snow piles at street corners. The village also says the goal is to address the snow mounds along Broadway by no later than Wednesday night.
