In 1928, Nassau County proposed widening Route 25A
from two tree-lined lanes to four. Community
opposition killed the plan but only after the trees
had been cut down. But it failed to block a 1961 plan
to widen both Routes 25A and 106. Work began in 1963,
sparing only a few old houses along Route 25A. The
John Layton store was relocated to Old Bethpage
Village Restoration.
