Brashich Chairman Southold Transportation Committee Town Hall 53095 Main Road Southold, NY 11971-0959 Re: Intersect]on of Route 48 and Depot Lane Dear Mr. Brashich: I have reread your letter to me dated November 23~d several times. It seems to me that you might be frustrated with the systems and procedures at your disposal. I have questioned many people regarding a regular stop signal at the above mentioned intersection - everyone is for it. Those long term East End residents that told me of the long standing opposition to traffic lights could not provide a reason for the resistance other than change is upsetting. ACCIDENTS AND DEATH ARE UPSETTING. I am not afraid to work - tell me what I need to do to change the delay time for this traffic light from 3-4 years to 3-4 months. I cannot even consider waiting years or a scenario whereby my children have children before this light is a reality, Please let me know your recommendations to speed this along; i.e. demonstrations, petitions, meetings with decision makers, etc. I work three jobs and do not have time to waste and therefore, my efforts must be poignant. Please contact me upon receipt of this letter. I can be reached at the above address or by telephone at 734,5315. Bernadette M.

Elizabeth A. Nevilre Southold Town Clerk December 21. 1999 85 Silver Colt Road Cutchogue, NY 11935 November 3, 1999 Raymond Jacobs Superintendent of Highways Department of Transportation Town of Southold Town Hall 53095 Main Road Southold, NY 11971 Dear Mr, Jacobs: I have been communicating with Jean Cochran for a year concerning the traffic on Route 48. A standard traffic signal is seriously needed at the intersection of Route 48 and Depot Lane in Cutchogue. As a resident on the north side of Route 48, I cannot cross Route 48 with my children on bike or foot without risking our lives. The average vehicle travels at 70+ miles per hour on Route 48. On Wednesday, October 27th I was told my children's school bus was hit while at a full stop on Route 48 (intersection of Alvahs Lane). 29 children were on that bus. People are going too fast on this road - a traffic light would help residents cross 48 and traffic to slow down. Please respond in writing as to my chances of seeing this done before a child is seriously injured or killed. Your name was referred to me by Kathy Kirsch Mequin. Thank you for considering the importance of my request. Sincere[y, Bernadette M. Petersen Attachments bcc: Jean Cochran ~SUPERVISORS OFFICE
