He first gave a clarification of "Hold over" questions from
last meeting on school centralization and consolidation. 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. Most were of the opinion if a bridge is built it will
probably go west of South old Town.
The next meeting on the Master Plan will be held at the Super-
,visor's Office, 16 South Street, Greenport, New York, on February
8, 1967, at 7:30 P.M.
