Gentlemen:
In r~ference to ,,tour request for a survey relative to the desirability of a
"Mo Parking Zone" located on Route 29 west of Greenport Village, I report the
fo]lowing:
The area ~n ~estion is opposite Campbellts Ford Agency and the traffic problem
is os.sod by the parking of vehicles by the members of Campbell's Ford Agency
on the north s~de of R¢~te 2~ opposite the business. There are two houses
located in the immediat,e vicinity ou the north side of Route 25. Perseus
leaving the driveways of these two homes would encounter a visibility problem
in reference to determining oncoming westbound traffic. I have spoken with
the owner of Campbell's Ford who informs me that there is insufficient parking
area within the grounds of his business and therefore there is a necessity for
these vehicles to park on the roadway during ~msiness hours.
I have previously '~;tated that there is a definite visibility problem for vehicles
exSting from the driveways previously mentioned. However, since parking is
l'imited on the business property, we can exercise no control ow.~r that. If we
were to institute a" No Parking" zone on the north side of the road, it would
just force parking elsewhere and create a new problem. It is a question of
judgement as to whether the decreased visibility for the small number of users
of the two driveways iu question is offset by any new parking problem created
on Route 2~. I feel that the matter may require a more detailed survey which
I am not prepared mLo do.
Ford feels that with these conditions that there is no possible justification
for a "No Parking" sign.
The area involved would be as fol]ows: from ~ew York State mile point marker
2~-O70]~-]6'~3, a distanl~ of ~J~O fe~.t west oF the mile point marker and 312 feet
east of the m~/e point marker.
It ~.s sug~{ested that the ~atf, er be rcfc~rred to the De[~artme~$ o£ Transportation,
who, i.n t~e final analysis~ rm~st make the decision.
