1. Minutes.
2. Rational speed limits: Dan's list of town street speed limits should be complete and mapped.
Should there be many different changes to be noticed and have hearings on or should the entire
town except#25 and #48 have 30 MPH? Dan to bring in paper map and chart he has been working
on.
3. Soundview Motel: Waiting on response from SCDPW on the lights proposed for the crosswalks.
4. Charging Stations.After the meeting we saw that the electric charger behind Town Hall was
unused and only marked for one car even though it can charge two vehicles. If little used, one spot
might be enough. Mary Bess said the code needs to be updated to specify how long a car can be
parked at a charger and will bring what she knows about Greenport's stations to the Feb meeting.
Next steps were for Sarah to follow up with Denis about grants and talk to Michael Collins and Tim
at DPW.
5. Trash issue– Follow up on January's ideas for Public Service Announcements Suffolk Times
(Sarah),Adopt-a-road program—would signs alone encourage groups to adopt certain streets?
The County does #48, SDOT does #25, the Town does major cross streets like Bay Av, Cox,
Eugene, Chapel,Albertson, etc. The other streets need help.
6. Transportation Funding Needs—Margaret and Randy
7. Parking signs for Peconic Bay Blvd in front of Vets Memorial.Also, signs for Breakwater Parking
request by Chris S. Dan was to investigate
8. Oysterponds School wants a crosswalk on Youngs where a new driveway entry has opened up.
Everyone should have looked.
9. Wickham and Pike's diagonal crosswalk—Dan signs?
10. Crash last week—issue of electric fires. Cutchogue library forum, moratorium?
11. Question about the County traffic task force and Sarah will reach out to Jonathon Keyes. Dan saw
traffic count machines at the same spots a couple of weeks ago—so we might get off-peak data.
Sarah
