1. Minutes accepted as written
2. Methods for capturing illegally loud vehicles: Paul Murphy guest
3. Bike racks: Finalize locations for Town Board, Tim Abrams ready to order racks
4. Bike maps: Seaview Trails Brochure. Agreed to ask Board to ask John Sep to create an app for the routes to
show up on the website and hopefully from there to be useable in google maps.
5. Mattituck follow up—from Minutes of last mtg: Discussion about what might be done, determined that
NYSDOT should be asked to help help figure out the problems and come up with solutions. Specific issues
include:
1. Westbound combo lane with right-straight onto Sound Ave with new offset alignment and without a
stop control results in driver and pedestrian confusion.
2. The current businesses on the south side of#25 have been underperforming because foot traffic
cannot cross two streams of traffic with poor sight-lines to get there. The Master Plan intends for
new commercial and community housing to be located within hamlets having transit access such as
this location. There are undeveloped properties as well as a pending community park on this south
side.
3. Important to involve the business community who raised their concerns to the Town Board about the
#25 crosswalks. Anne and Al will be attending the annual Merchants Assoc. meeting this month.
Anne will ask to get the issue on their agenda to hear their concerns as well as letting them know
that the NYSDOT will be doing a study of the crosswalks between New Suffolk Ave and the school
by Dec. 2024. She and Al will discuss with Heather for Zoning Code update issues that relate. She
will bring back the Merchants feedback to help frame a letter from Town Board to NYSDOT
requesting a more complete and long-term plan. With Heather's help it will include the zoning code
update issues, parking and traffic needs.
6. Factory Ave: Anne?
7. Speed limit town-wide- Update from attorney?
8. County traffic task force. Need to get copy from Supervisor's staff to see and/or generate new request. Ed
Romaine was instrumental in arranging it.
9. DOT letters:
A. Sharrows. DOT said that they would look at marking Old Sound Ave. And will look into extending
the Sharrows and Sarah asked them to add one to East Marion. ?
10.Hopefully Heather can join and share how we can be in communication about the Zoning Code update
related to Complete Streets and the ambitious goals of the Master Plan.
11.Agreed to swap when Anti-Bias Taskforce meets in AM, so April, June&July will be in Supervisor's Conf.
