Southold Transportation Committee
Southold Town Hall - 4 PM
Minutes -September 6, 1994
Present: Michael Acebo, Bob Bayley, Neboysha Brashich, Margaret Brown, Victor
Brown, Barbara Michelson, Merle Wiggin
Neb reported that D..............Engineering would do the traffic study for $3200. Tom
Wickham asked if it could be funded from our $50,000 grant. In any case, the $3200 has
been put into the Town Budget. The principals of the firm worked for DOT for 15 years
and therefore would be knowledgeable about working with the DOT.
A report from the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council TIP Executive
Summary showed that there are no 1994-1999 targets applicable to Southold Town.
Our next meeting will be Tuesday, August 30 at 4 PM in the Town Hall.
Tom Wickham received a letter from AAA of New York reporting that Southold has won
a pedestrian safety award based on the fact that we have had no pedestrian fatalities -in the
last 5 years. We are invited to an awards luncheon in Westbury.
We discussed the program and other details for the Transportation Symposium
extensively:
*Bob Bayley feels the headings are too dry and will try to think of interesting
improvements.
*We thought of a new phrase - "Southold, a Great Destination" to use in the invitation.
*We will revise the invitation and response card and also the agendas.
*There will be a rapporteur in each car who will stay with that car for the'~ntire day and
take notes on all the discussions.
*Supervisor Wickham and Mayor Kapell will give welcoming statements before we
depart from Greenport. Tom Wickham will go on the trip at leastas far as Ronkonkoma.
*Neb will speak to the LIRR people to find a guest speaker and get a PA system for each
car.
*Neb and Margaret will work on the invitations and get them ready to send out.
*We discussed food. Barbara provided us with a cost sheet (last week) including items
she will donate and things that we may get at cost or donated from other sources.
* Neb will ask Tom Wickham about cider and apples.
*Bob Bayley will talk to Bruce Bollman about doing sandwiches for $4 each and Merle
Wiggin will ask the same of the Sterlington Deli.
*Mike and Neb can each provide 23-30 cup coffee urns.
*Barbara will ask Louisa Hargrave about wine.
*Neb will ask if two tables can be set up at the Ronkonkoma Station to serve lunch.
*We need tickets for people to get on the train and for lunch.
*Maybe call the ride the "Southold Special"
