Fair Police, county prepare for L.I. Marathon
(Page 3 of 4)
The New York Islanders are hosting an NHL playoff game at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum at noon on Sunday, four hours after the marathon kicks off. The starting point of the marathon — on Charles Lindbergh Boulevard — is just north of the Coliseum.
County officials said they were prepared for the complication, and added that it should not present any problems. “The race should be clear of all roads surrounding the Coliseum by 9:30 a.m.” said Inspector Kenneth Lack of the Nassau County Police Department. “The New York Islanders were provided road closure schedules a week ago.”
