Re: Transportation Master Plan
Town of Southold
Dear Mr. Murphy:
We are pleased to have this opportunity to submit a proposal for the Trans-
portation Master Plan within the Town of Southold.
We believe that our experience in the traffic engineering field, wi th par-
ticular expertise in the conduct of transportation planning studies, will be-
nef it the Town of Sou tho ld.
In particular, these benefits and savings will be accrued due to (a) reduced
start-up efforts and (b) reduced collection, reduction, and analysis time due
to the traffic count equipment, computer hardware, and computer software that
we have utilized on other projects throughout Long Island.
We are available to meet with you to discuss a budget and time schedule.
We look forward to working with you to provide the personal, professional en-
gineering services needed to complete this Transportation Master Plan in the
shortest and most cost-effective time frame, to the full satisfaction of the
Town of Southold.
Sincerely,
iJ<"J~L-, /h. <bk~/}

Dunn Engineering Associates recognizes the need for the Town of Southold to
develop a transportation master plan for Southold's social and economic
vitality and the quality of life of its citizens.
Long Island has just been ranked by Money Magazine as one of the top ten
places to live in the United States, and the Town of Southold is one of the
reasons why. Southold' s lovely and di verse landscape includes rolling hills,
meadows, sandy beaches, fertile farmland and charmin neighborhoods. The
combination of natural beaut excellent recreational facilities, a favorable
employment outlook and diversified opportunities make Southold a very
desireable place to live or visit.
?
Since 1970, Southold's popluation has risen 25 percent, to 21,003. Traffic
volumes have also increased. County Road 48 is experiencing traffic volume
increases of 8 to 9 percent per year. Now is the best time to plan for the
fut ure of trans portation in Southold.
Dunn Engineering Associates is prepared to review all significant elements
that affect transportation in Southold Town. Issues, goals and data sources
will be identified and discussed. Conflicting objectives, such as traffic
versus jobs, and growth versus quality of life, will be outlined. Potential
solutions and policy recommendations will be presented. Wherever practical
and innovative techniques and policies will be recommended.
Dunn Engineering Associates is a full service traffic engineering firm
specializing in transportation and traffic planning. Its principals have
worked on transportation projects in Suffolk County, including the Town of
Southold, for 0 ver 20 years.
Dunn Engineeri ng As socia tes has conducted trans porta t ion planni ng studies in
Lake Grove, Sag Harbor, Westhampton Beach and Southampton, as well as
comprehens i ve traffic plans for the New York Institute of Technology
Campus/Tech Park in Central Islip, the Suffolk County Court Complex in Central
Islip and neighborhood studies in Baywood/Brentwood, Bohemia and Holbrook

each in the Town of Islip. Dunn Engineering Associates has also participated
in other major transportation studies planning, including the Veterans
Hemorial Highway Corridor Study, the Town of Huntington Commuter Parking
Study, and the Long Island Rail Road Hicksville to Ronkonkoma Electrification
Environmental Assessment Report.
Walter Dunn, Jr., P.E., Principal, a nationally known transportation expert,
will serve as Principal-in-Charge. Mr. Dlllm received his B.S. in Civil
Engineering from Newark College of Engineering and his M.S. in Transportation
Planning and Engineering for the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn. He is a
licensed Professional Engineer in New York and New Jersey. He was Project
Director for the Integrated Motorist Information System (IMIS) in the Northern
Long Island Corridor, and has worked on the project from 1972 to the present.
He also developed the highly acclaimed traffic management plan for the 1986
U.S. Open Golf Tournament at Shinnecock Hills. James W. O'Callaghan, P.E.,
Vice-President of Dunn Engineering Associates, will serve as Dunn Engineering
Associates' Project Manager. He is a former commissioner of Public Works in
the Town of Islip who is very familiar with the road system in Suffolk County
and the Town of Southold. He also directed Nassau County's traffic volume
counting program, and played a major role in transportation studies of Mitchel
Field, Roosevelt Field, the County government area in Mineola/Garden City, and
Mineola/Garden City, and Long Beach. Hr. O'Callaghan received his B.S. in
Civil Engineering from Hanhattan College, a M.S. in Civil Engineering,
(Transportation) from N.Y.U. and a M.P.A. in Public Administration from Long
Island University. He is a licensed Professional Engineer in New York and
California. He was selected as Engineer of the Year in 1987 by the Long
Island Branch of the American Society of Civil Engineers.
Dunn Engineering Associates uses the latest innovation in traffic count
machines. In the office, the machine data is fed to our computers so that
field data can be reduced auto.matically without an extensive data reduction
effort, as normally occurs with the use of older traffic machine counters.
This equipment is ready to be used to collect data within Southold.

TASK 1
HIGHWAY AND
ROAD PLAN
I
I
Southold has essentially an older highway system. Since the late 1970s, total
highway mileage has increased only slightly, while average traffic volumes on
some roadways have grown significantly. For example, daily volumes on County
Road 48, near Cox Neck Lane and Peconic Lane, are rising at the rate of 8 to 9
percent per year.
I
I
I
There is li ttle prospect for Federal or State help in improving the Southold
highway network. A new federal highway funding program has yet to be
developed, and New York is one of only three states without a dedicated
highway fund.
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will ~dentify issues, including, but not limited
to: congestion, highway capacity, lack of adequate funds, development
policies, anti-growth sentiment, and the importance of the highway system to
Southold's economy and quality of life.
I
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will accumulate and review available data.
Existing traffic volumes and projected growth rates for both traffic volumes
and land use development will be used to estimate volumes for the design year
on major State, County and local highways. These volumes will be compared
with the projected capacity of these highways by the design year, assUJiling
that current and projected highway capaci ty improvements are constructed.
Needs (deficient highway links) will be identified and analyzed.
I
I
I
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will meet with Southold offiCials, State, County
and Village officials, and with the public to establish the highway related
goals of the plan. The goals may include: control growth, increase use of
mass transportation, develop innovative strategies to reduce single car
occupancy and develop plans to optimize the efficiency of Southold's highway
sys tern.
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will present recommendations intended to help meet
the highway related goals of the plan. Examples of possible recommendations
include: road widenings, intersection improvements, impact fees, growth
I
I

I
I
I
management, suburban mobility initiatives and other innovative polices.
I
I
Across the country the same forces that have produced no-growth sentiments
have also stimulated a variety of innovative responses to deal with traffic
problems.
I
I
In Walnut Creek, California, voters recently approved a proposition that
prohibits any new commercial or office projects in excess of 10,000 square
feet un til peak-hour traffic volumes at 75 c ri tical intersect ions have been
rolled back to level of sevice "0".
I
).0 Bethes~da, Maryland, a suburb of Washington D.C., a llDratorium has been
imposed on any development that generates more than five vehic Ie trips in the
peak period.
I
I
Requiring private developers to share in the cost of highway improvements
necessary to accomllDdate new development has become virtually a conventional
wisdom. Impact fees are being routinely imposed in at least a dozen states,
including California, Colorado, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, New Jersey,
Pennsylvania, and Texas. In Florida, m:>re than half of the state's 67
counties are expected to charge impact fees.
I
I
I
Orange County, California plans to raise nearly $500 million for new highways
by imposing a fee of $1,000 on every new house and $1 per square foot on
comrrercial development.
I
I
These and other innovative policies will be considered for implementation
under the master plan.

TASK 2
MASS
. TRANSPORTATION
PLAN
-9-
I
I
Mass transit on Long Island has had great difficultly in adapting itself to
the demographic realities of the 1980s. The Long Island Rail Road is still
oriented to serving Manhattan commuters, despite the fact that Manhattan bound
travel represents a d"indling proportion of overall demand.
I
I
I
The Tow of Southold market is difficult for Suffolk Transit buses to serve.
Lo" densities, ample free parking, the frequent lack of pedestrian facilities,
and the spacing of development, all contribute to an environment which is
inconvenient to those who do not have access to an automobile. There simply
is not enough "mass" to make mass transit .lork effectively. Yet, buses offer
the flexibility and lower costs that are suitable to Southold's future mass
transit needs. Suffolk Transit can do little by itself to change the
situation. The decisions concerning subdivisions, site plans, permitted uses,
and densities, all of which significantly influence bus ridership are in the
hands of local government, developers and employers.
I
I
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will identify issues including, but not limited I
to: bus schedules and routes, travel time, transfer points, paratransit for
the elderly and handicapped, and private/public partnerships to improve mass
transit.
I
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will accumulate and review available data.
Sources will include: LIRR/MTA, Suffolk County Transit, and other studies of
successful demonstration projects.
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will meet with Southold officials, County and
Village of fieials and wi th the public, to estab li sh the trans it-related goals
of the plan. The goals may include: add new routes, improve access for mass
transit, increase ridership, improve service and decrease travel times.
I
I
Dunn Engineering Associates will present recommendations intended to help meet
the established goals related to mass transit. Examples of possible policy
recommendations include: bus preemption of traffic signals to reduce travel
time and clustering new development near transit routes.
