He stated that his findings were that the State cannot force centralization, it is done by vote of the people in the districts concerned. Mr. Bhatnagar then discussed the overall Long Island HIghway system as it affects East-West travel and traffic volume at various locations in the Town. It is his opinion that we need more East-West roads to relieve conjestion at some points. An accident survey has been done in time Village, a chart was displayed showing locations of these accidents and the most hazardous places. The question of Shelter Island Ferry traffic was raised. It was generally agreed the one way traffic and placing of Ferry lines on the south side of Wiggins Street was adequate for the present volume of traffic. Some discussion was held on the parking area for this Ferry. Some thought additional parking should be provided on the railroad property south of Wiggins Street and west of Third Street. Similiar to the Town's arrangement on Pike Street, Mattituck, using the railroad property. There was some discussion on the "New London" Ferry traffic and parking. It was generally agreed that their lot was adequate for quite some time to come. There was a long discussion on Village traffic problems and town roads, better circulation of traffic in each hamlet, etc., possible location of traffic lights, increasing parking areas, etc. The possibility of the Long Island-Connecticut Bridge was again brought up for more discussion, with its effects on the North Fork.
