TOWN OF SDUTHOLD - TOWNWIDE PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION
ATTACHMENT C -PROJECT DESCRIPTION
EXISTING CONDITIONS
' The Town of Southold has conducted a comprehensive "grass-roots" effort through numerous meetings,
communication and correspondence with each of the nine (9) Hamlet Stakeholder organizations throughout the Town
to identify critical needs and deficiencies related to pedestrian and bicycle facilities, sweet aesthetics and beautification,
transportation links, tourism, and overall public safe[}'. -As a result of this outreach program, which included over 3,500
' hours of volunteer time and effort, a listing of over 35 locarions townwide were recommended for various capital
tmprovements. Due to the budgetary constraints of this grant program, the 35 locarions were prioritized, and the I1
most critical locarions were identified and targeted fox this Townwide Pedestrian'.~faster Plan Implementation Project.
' Mattituck
Location 1- Main Road (NY 25) at Love Lane -This intersection has been historically problematic to the Towa anti
NI'SDOT. The intersection exhibits an expansive pavement area, vehiculaz speeding, a sharp horizontal curve, high
' accident rates, and extremely dangerous conditions for pedestrians within the heart of the thri~ting Mattimck business
district The quaint downtown feel of Love Lane abmpri}' ends at Main Road as crossing the State road is neazly
impossible at rimes. Connectivity and safety improc-ements are required.
' Location 2- Factory Avenue to Love Lane and Love Lane to Mattituck Inlet -Sidewalks exist intemnttently on
the south side of Dlain Road from Factory .Avenue to Love Lane (1 /2-mile +/-) making it difficult for pedestrians to
walk along this commercial corridor and access the downtown area on Love Lane. From the north, there aze no
pedestrian accommodatlons for boaters at Dlatriruck Inlet to attract them to the downtown area, which is approximately
' 500 ft away. Pedestrians aze deterred away from aossing CR 48 to travel to Love Lane because there are no existing
crosswalks, sidewalks or way finding signage in the azea. The pazk/shoreline itself unaccommodating and is in disrepair.
Cutchoeue
Location 3- Griffin Street-The extsting median on Griffin Street is short and nazrow and pro~~des insufficient
pedestrian refuge for pedestrians crossing between the post office and Shopping Center. _As the pavement expands
even wldex futther north, a need for a wider median with plantings and a crosswalk has been identified to break up the
' pavement azea and improve pedestrian access. In addition, there are no pazking accommodations within the Cutchogue
Hamlet Center for bicyclists who utilize the two neazby bike routes on Main Road (Rte 2:i) and New Suffolk _Avenue.
Peconic
' Location 4- Peconic Lane- There is an obvious lack of pedestrian connectivity between the recreational complexes on
Peconic Lane. Pedestrians moving between Cochran and Taskex Town Pazks find it difficult due to the combination of
the lack of sidewalks on the east side of Peconic Lane, the lack of crosswalks, and speeding vehicles along this straight
' stretch of roadwat~. Further concern is that both pazk complexes are heavil}' used at night as well with no existing
roadway lighting. In addition, there is no existing sidewalk connection on the east side of the road between the site of
the new communih~ center and the two parks.
' OU I
Location 5-Traveler Street -The existing on-street parking is not clearly defined and creates a dangerous crossing
siruation for pedestrians attempting to cross this wide stretch of roadway. The north side of Traveler Street has no
' curbs, sidewalks, lighting, or landscaped buffer between the Long Island Rail Road tracks making the roadway look
dilapidated. The south side of the road consvsts of some of the hamlet's key and most frequented sites including Town
Hall, Town Hall .Annex, the Post Office, library-, and Feather Hill Shopping Village, but also some of the only vacant
buildings and abandoned tenant spaces as walkability and aesthetics on Traveler Street do not compare to the adjacent
' historic section of Main Road. There is also no ~7sua1 ox ph}'sical connection from the LIRR station on Traveler Street
to the existing points of interest.
' Location 6- Youngs Avenue -Youngs .Avenue between Route 25 and the Horton Lighthouse has been designated a
future bike route per NI'SDOT/NI'1~TI'C Long Island Non-Motorized Transportation Srud}'~ The roadwa}' is cuaently
lacking bike signage and striping.

TOWN OF SOUTNOLD - TOWNWIDE PEDESTRIAN MASTER PLAN IMPLEMENTATION PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Greenport
Location 7- Route 25 at Moores Lane -There ate no crosswalks at this intersection to accommodate pedestrians,
mainly students from the high school on Moores Lane, attempting to cross Route 25. The existing sidewalk on the
north side of Route 2~ west of Dloores Lane ends approximately 300 ft before the intersection forcing pedestrians to
walk dangerously close to the roadwa}' and crossing mid-block where no crosswalk exists.
East Marion
Location S- Route 25- This section of Route 23 runs through the Hamlet Center (neaz angels store) and is a stop fox
passengers of the Hampton Jitney, which traverses between New Fork City and the Cross Sound Ferry in Orient The
area also attracts local residents and shoppers as the area includes a retail store and post office. Vehicle volumes and
speeds detract from the downtown feel of the area. The lack of crosswalks or medians for pedestrian refuge makes the
crossing situation at this location dangerous.
Orient
Location 9- Route 25 -This stretch of Route 25 has become ahigh-speed throughway- fox travelers to/from the Cross
Sound Ferry and Fishing enthusiasts heading to Orient Point. The roadway section needs to be modified to slow
drivers, creating more of a downtown feeling, and alerting them of the historic Orient Hamlet on Village Lane. Creating
this sense of place will spin visitors, economic revival and interest in the azea as well as significantly improving safety.
Fisher's Island
Location 10- Community Center- There is no formal path connecting the newly constructed community center and
the public school. ~ wom, footpath meandering through a wooded axes is eszdence that a new walkway is necessary.
Visitor Centers
Mattimck and Greenport- Visitor Center Information Centers- The existing visitor centers axe small and outdated.
The centers lack a modem comprehensive system that can tell the store of Southold's rich history. Building expansions
and exhibit upgrades aze necessary to promote the area and its new Scenic Byway status as granted b}'New York State.
PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS & ENHANCEMENTS
Capital improvements proposed for this project have been cazefully selected to not only pro~zde the best alternative for
pedestrian connectivity and safety and aesthetic enhancements and beautifications, but also to be feasible and
implementable on the respective Town, County and State roadways where they axe proposed. The Town of Southold
acknowledges the fact that their "main streets" aze not Town roads, but County Road 48 and NYS Route 25. Through
yeazs of experience and correspondence with the NYSDOT and Suffolk County DPW who oversee the jurisdiction of
these roadways, the Town and their engineering consultant fully understand their requirements, and have selected
innovative but also time-tested improvements, which have been previously employed on State and County roads.
Conceptual Dengns and photographs ofproposed design elements from similar JocaJprojects an provided on 22 "x34 "attarhmentr.
Mattimck
Location 1- Pedestrian improvements at Main Road (NY 25) at Love Lane -Reduce the expansive pavement azea
of the intersection to promote connecti~~ity across NY 25 by the construction of curb extensions, medians, and
distinctive crosswalks (See Attached CanceptuaJDerzgn). Proposed improvements en«sioned for this location aze similar to
NYSDOT successful enhancements on NI Route 110, New 1'oxk _~cenue in downtown Huntington including brick
paver curb extensions to match the existing sidewalks, synthetic asphalt crosswalks (ImprintTM), concrete handicap
ramps with detectable warning fields, new pavement markings and signage. The proposed Route 2~ crosswalk location
provides the best sight lines For pedestrians at the horizontal curve, and the proposed median provides a refuge
significantly shortening the distance across Dlain Road.
Location 2- Construction of sidewalks between in West Mattimck -Provide continuous sidewalk network from
Factory _9venue to downtown blattiruck (Love Lane) where the existing sidewalk system is intermittent along NY 25.
Pro~dde sidewalk and crosswalk to create a connection between Loce Lane and Hattimck Inlet and waterfront pazk.
Enhance parking lot aesthetics and amenities at Hardtack Inlet Pazk and continue sidewalk/walkway to the waterfront.
The crosswalk proposed fox CR 48 is DuraTherm, a decorative asphalt surfacing s}'stem, which the County prefers for

' adding ~zsibility to their crosswalks (example: CR 97, Nicolls Rd just north of Montauk Hwy). -~ push-button activated
flashing beacon system is also proposed, which would futther alert drivers that pedestrians aze within the crosswalk.
Cutchotnre
' Location 3-New bicycle rack and new landscaped median on Griffin Street -Extend the existing median on
Griffin Street approxttnately 200 feet to the north to provide new trees, shrubs and pedestrian refuge. Install a new bike
rack in the municipal parking lot behind Karen's Deli shopping center so cyclists, who utilize the two nearby bike routes
' on D4ain Road (Rte 25) and New Suffolk venue, can stop and enjoy the downtown.
Peconic
Location 4- New sidewalks and crosswalks on Peconic Lane- Install sidewalk and lighted crosswalk system
' between Cochran and Tasker Pazk on Peconic Lane. Install sidewalk from site of new community center to pazk.
Proposed improvements emnsioned for this location are similaz to the Town of Brookhaven's lighted aosswall: system
with automatic sensors on Hospital Road in Bellport.
' Southold
Location 5- Sueetscape Improvements to Traveler Street -Install new sidewalk and streetscape amenities (trees,
benches, lighting, trash receptacles, etc.) along Traveler Saeet. Install new sidewalk on east side of Horton Lane. The
' sidewalk connections and streetscape enhancements will expand the hamlet center creating a "superblock" and "sense
of place" bounded by the Route 25 historic district, Traveler Street, Horton Lane, and Youngs .-venue.
Location 6-New signing and striping for on-road bike path on Youngs Avenue -Install signage and striping fox
a new on-road bike route on Youngs Avenue from downtown Southold (NY 25) to Horton Lighthouse. This
implements one of the proposed bike routes as per NYSDOT/NYMTC Long Island Non-Motorized Transportation
Study. In order to reduce the number /duttex of bike signs, the Town may elect to utilize experimental "shartow" bike
symbols.
~ Gteenport
Location 7-Install sidewalk and crosswalks on NY 25 near Moores Lane -Install sidewalk on north side of N'Y
' 25 from location where existing sidewalk ends to Moore Lane. Install new synthetic asphalt crosswalks at intersection of
D4oore Lane and NI' 25. The purpose is to facilitate pedestrian safety and connection, specifically the heavy volumes of
students from the adjacent high school, across Route 25.
t East Marion
Location 8-Traffic calming/pedestrian improvements on NY 25 neaz Hamlet Center -Install new curb
extensions, driver feedback deices, signage, and crosswalks to create a more pedestrian friendly environment in the
' Hamlet Center (angels Store). Improvements em-isioned for this location are similar to Broadway in Port ieffexson.
Orient
Location 9-Traffic cahning measures on Route 25 -Narrow existing travel lanes with new median and bike lanes.
' Install new driver feedback devices on NI' 25. Proposed improvements envisioned for this location aze similar to
NYSDOT successful enhancements on NI' Route ] 14 in North Haven on Long Island's South Fork including raised
medians with Belgiau block pavers, delineators, new pavement markings and signage. (See Proposed Photon)
' Fisher's Island
Location 10-New walkway from the school to the new Community Center - Create a pedestrian connection from
the school to the newly constructed Community Center through an existing wooded azea.
' Visitor Centers
Mattimck and Greenport- Visitor Center Expansions and new touch-screen kiosks -Expansion of the existing
visitor center buildings (approximately 200 squaze feet each) in the hamlets of Laurel and Greenport to accommodate
' proposed interactive touch-screen kiosks to educate c-isitors on the history, em~ironment, recreational facilities and
State-designated North Fork Trail Scenic Byway within the Town.

ATTACHMENT D ~ ELIGIBILITY: PROJECT CATEGORY OR CATEGORIES
This project fits into three (3) eligible enhancement categories: Category 1-Provision of Facilities for Pedestrians and Bicycles,
Category 4 -Scenic or Historic Highway Programs (Including the Pro~dsion of Tourist and Welcome Center Facilities), and
Category 5 -Landscaping and Other Scenic Beautification.
Categ~ L Provision of Facilities for Pedestrians and Bicycles
Hom doer the facik~ZJ~ reeve tripe that could otbenvzre be made by motor vehicles? Enhandng the walking environment will encourage
pedzstxian and transit ridership towards the region's goal of reducing personal auto use. Providing connectivity with sidewalls and
crosswalk, improving/proving bicycle facilities, provided kec linkages, and incorporating site amenities also encourages shoppers
to patronize walldng destinations, particularly within the downtown hornier censers, as opposed to big-box caxorienied shopping
places that are inaccessible by transit or on fool.
Ham doer the faaCst~~ enhance rafety forpedertrianr or buyclartr or fif! agap in a pedertnan, birycle yr other iron-motorsned rbard ore path yr trail

concerns thac east. In general, the existing conditions present: 1) vast expanses of pavement which aze difficult w cross, 2) long
straight roadway se~nents conducive for speeding, and 3) vehicles routinely exceeding the speed limit, wltich detract from the
walking experience and perception of safety. The proposed neckdowns, refuge medians and tex-tuxed crosswalks would nazrow
crossings and slow vehicles, making pedestrians feel safe and encouraging more walking trips and provide tme connectivity along
and across sidewalk azeas. Additionally, the redesigned pazk/plaza space acknowledges that pedestrians need not just places to walk
long distances but shady resting areas in which to regroup and recharge before venturing off fox more shopping. The new
streetscapes and park improvements will become destinations in themselves, drawing more pedestrians who value a shad}',
landscaped place to rest and socialize. It will also provide bicycle pazldng facilities and new bike routes connecting to existing
routes.
To what extent are the connecting loeationr (origin and dertinatianJ d~erent and rlirtlnct?What aclrvity centerr are connected or k~nk in a continuour

specifically focused on providing complete, uninterrupted linkages along and across the "main street" ox °streets", and connections
to the Long Island Rod Road stations, public buses and Jitney in each of the hamlets, as well as providing connecfi~dry to neazby
parks and recreational facilities.

CategS>_y 5 - Landscanixvr and Other Scenic Beautification
Hom doer theprojed enhance the landreape for the travekng public?The proposed design would transform the unaccommodating Traveler
Street in Southold into a vibrant streetscaped boulevazd, with amenities such as plantings, searing, distinctive paving and lighting.
Downtown Southold is a busy shopping and histone atrridor, with high volumes of pedestrians and traffic congestion. The
streetscape enhancements and sidewall; connections on Youngs ~9venue and Horton Lane would complete a one, square block
commercial center anchored by Town Hall and Town Hall Annex, the public library, post office, hismrical society, and numerous
historic buildings and sites. The landscaping and amenities will provide a green refuge, a place to rest or wait ox people-watch. The
improvements themselves would strengthen the economic viability of the hamlet center.

unpleasant space along the railroad track, this design would expand and strengthen the Southold downtown as a whole. The
proposed design would add trees and other greenery io an area where such amenities aze lacking. Distinctive lighting and paving
would enhance the space and give ii an identity. A uniyue design will provide a unified and beautiful visual experience fox the
traveling public.

' Current ar past transportation pumose
This project will continue to serve its cunent transportation purpose as it elevates the importance of walking
and improcting safety for pedestrians on several busy downtown shopping comdoxs. It will support the
corridor as a walking destination and enhance the walking experience on Route 25 and CR 48 and segments
' in between. This project will create new walking azeas and public space with amenities on Traveler Street m
Southold Hamlet. It will support bus and train ridership tluough improved ph}'sical connections. h will
' provide bic}'cle routes and bicycle parking facilities.
Enhancement of aesthetic. cultural or historic aspects of txac-el experience
This project will enhance the aesthetic and cultural aspects of the travel experience by providing a landscaped
space for pedestrians to enjoy, either by walking through or stopping fox a rest. The new/revitalized
' streetscapes wtill become destinations that encourage social interaction and foster pride in the communit}'.
The proposed streetscape improvements on Traveler Street are within the Southold National Historic
District. The visitor center improvements in Southold and Gxeenport will enhance the historic aspects of the
entire scenic byway and overall navel experience. This project also compliments the Town's current project
PIN 0758.90 - Planning and Construction of Interpretive Signage& kiosk Facilities along the North Fork
Trail Scenic Byway. The proposed pedestrian links will proczde access to proposed kiosks to be located in the
' hamlet centers and interpretive signs to be located within the Town's preserves and historic sites.
Proximity to intermodal transportation system
The project azea is served by the Long Island Rail Road in Mattiruck, Southold, and Gxeenport. Bike racks
and pedestrian linkages between the railroad stations and downtown hamlet centers are proposed. Suffollc
County Transit, the local bus svstem, and Hampton lime}', the long distance shuttle bus between New York
City- and Orient Point, also sennce the project area. Sidewalk areas and crosswalks are proposed in the
vicinity of several of these bus stops. The project area also relies upon watexbome modes of navel. This
' project proposes a pedestrian link from Mattimck Inlet and Marina to downtown Love Lane in the Matdruck
Hamlet Center. The project area also relies heavily on bicycle usage as a mode of transportation and
' recreation. _~ bike route is proposed for Youngs Avenue, and bike racks aze proposed throughout the hamlet
centers. This project will enhance the pedestrian element of the intermodal transportation svstem by
improving safety and the walking experience.

ATTACHMENT F -ELIGIBILITY: BENEFIT TO PUBLIC INTEREST
PUBLIC ACCESS~USE~
The Town of Southold, which encompasses neazly all of Long Island's North Fork, is truly a destination for
all seasons. During the summer months it is the ideal time to enjoy boating and the beautiful beaches, the
trails and state pazks. The fall brings the harvest season on the North Fork-a great time for fresh roasted
com, pumpkin picking or a snsit to one of the 34+ ~°ineyazds for tastings and tours. Winter season is the
perfect time to cozy up with Long Island wine, escape reality and experience the quiet and tranquil wonder of
the North Fork. Spring brings beautiful blossoms, produce, and the opportunity to enjoy the warmer weather
without the hustle and bustle of the summer season.
The proposed project will result in new pedestrian space and stxeetscapes, continuous sidewalk systems,
bicycle routes and parking accommodations, tourism facilities, and gateways. It will also improve safety for all
road users, especially pedestrians, by reducing crossing distances, slowing vehicles, managing traffic
operations and reducing conflicts between pedestrians, bicyclists and motor vehicle traffic.
These improvements will benefit all who lic-e, work, shop, tnsit, vacation or pass through the Town of
' Southold. The project is expected w especially benefit Town residents, which includes a large senior ettizen
population (30°~a of residents over 60 years of age) who generally enjoy walking ox biking to neazby
' destinations. A significant portion of the population also includes Long Islanders who perxnanendy reside
elsewhere, but own second homes within the Town. Tourists also frequent the area from other parts of New
York State as well as out-of-state visitors from Connecticut, Massachusetts and Rhode Island s~ia the Cross
Sound Fem.
' This is a community that would benefit from increased public space and enhanced walking emtironments.
This project will add landscaped public space, which will help filter the au and create a pleasant pedestrian
em-ironment that, will encourage more walking and fewer vehicle trips. The safety improvements will also
' encourage walking, especially for the elderly and families with young children, who might otherwise be
reluctant to brave the long crosswalks and high-speed vehicles.
' The proposed improc-ements will be constructed within public right-of-way and will be open 24 hours a day,
? days a week, and free-of-charge with the exception of the proposed expansions and equipment upgrades fox
the Visitor Centers, whose accessibilit}' will be limited to Saturdays and Sundays during the months of June
' through October. The enhancements proposed for this project will be designed to accommodate a variety of
uses.

ATTACHMENT G -EXPECTED BENEFITS TO RESULT FROM PROJECT
Streets serve our communities as both multi-modal transportation facilities and important open space assets.
It is this dual functionalin• that makes them our most valuable form of public space. From the simple and
' straightforward installation of sidewalls ox crosswalks to a comprehensive design that includes street trees,
distinctive lighting, and custom furniture, this proposed project offers the Town of Southold an opportunity
' to immediately and directly improve quality of life fox the public, as well as encourage economic recztalization
and toursm. _~ldditionall}', this project will foster a greater appreciation of bong Island's most well pxesen-ed
town full of rich history, breathtaking vistas, wineries and farmlands, sensitive habitats, miles of coastline,
scenic b}wa`~s, recreational spaces, unique boutiques, small-town atmosphere, and New England-like culture.
' Enhancement of Local and Regional Environment
The proposed project will enhance the scertic quality of the Town in the following wa}~s:
' Creating a beautifully landscaped streetscape along the underutilized Traveler Street, wluch will
provide a buffer from the current eyesore, the Long Island railroad tracks. additionally, the new
public space will further enhance the scemc quality of the neighborhood by t}-ing it into the adjacent
national historic district located on Route 25.
• Creating landscaped medians on Griffin Street within soften the look of this wide paved roadway.
• The project will contribute to improved air quaGtyby adding landscaping for air filtration and b}'
encouraging more walking taps (thereby reducing velilde trips).
' The project will improve the quality ofGle fox residents and visitors to the area in the following ways:
• Creating walkable communities throughout the hamlet centers and to oudeing parks and points of
interest.
• Increased tourism to the azea facilitated by improved transportation linkages (waterfont
' connections for boaters, bicycle routes and parking facilities, sidewalk connectivity, linkages to wain
stations and bus stops, and safer roadway crossings.
• The improved streetscapes, parks and waterfront will become destinations, drawing new visitors to
the azea, enhancing the marketability of the communityand contributing to economic
development
• The enhanced and safer pedestrian environment will encourage residents and tourists to stroll and
' shop in hamler centers rather than driving to other shopping destinations, also contributing to
economic development
• The new enhanced public spaces will become focal points for the community, a place for gathering
and socialinteraction.
' • Enhancement of tourism and visitor revenues by creating a greater appreciation of the area with
the promotion of the Scenic B}~x-ay designation and historic and natural elements by modernizing the
' ~~isitox centers.
Enhancement of Transportation Plans. Projects and S~-stems
The proposed project will expand and improve the existing transportation system by adding new
pedestrian linkages and improving pedestrian safety in the vicinity of all hamlet activity centers, as well as to
' nearby parks, recreational complexes, waterfronts, schools, historic sues and community centers. The extsting
transportation s}'stem exhibits glaringgapswhere pedestrians axe forced to walk on roadway shoulders ox
travel lanes. Where the existing transportation system is technically "accessible" to pedestrians, a varieh~ of
' unpleasant conditions east for pedestrians, including long crosswalks combined with lugh-speed vehicles.
Safetyis a major concern at most of the locations, especially for the more vulnerable pedestrians, such as the
elderly and families with small children. Not only would this project guarantee access to disabled
individuals, it would improve accessibility for mobile individuals who nevertheless prefer to drive or be driven
' because of their perception that it is unsafe to walk ox bike. The project will enhance the trip experience by
providing expanded sidewalks, safer crossings, pedestrian refuge medians, distincdr-e crosswalks, pedestrian

lighting, designated bicycle routes and facilities, and slower motor vehicles through the implementation of
traffic calming meastues. Furthermore, this project will address deficiencies in the transportation system by
reducing excessively long roadwa}~ crossings that hnpede pedestrian circulation and pose a safety hazazd.
Relationship to/Support for Other Plans. Projects
This project relates to several local long-range transportation and town master plan documents in a number
of ways. It supports the economic vitality of the azea, improving upon existing retail corridors. It increases the
.rafetq and .recuritj~ of the transportation system fox motorized and non-motorized users. It increases the
accessibility and moln~k~ty options. It will protect and enhance the environment and improve the quality of!zfe. It will
enhance the integration and connectivit)~ of the transportation system, across and between modes. It will presence
the existing transportation system.
Local Waterfront Revitalization Program -The proposed project is consistent with and will advance the
intent and policies of the Town of Southold Local \X-'atexfront Rettitalization Program (L\I'RP) btu enhancing
visual quality and community character as well as pxo~iding fox public access to, and recreational use of,
coastal waters, public lands, and public resources.
Section 1'. Implementation, Page 54 of the L\XtRP supports the proposed project stating: "Hamlet
Ilevitah'tiation Plans including Gateway and Streeucape EdemenW - In order to maintain the character of Southold', vilda~es, it is
essential to integrate new development in a compatible. jarhion. Automabidet mutt not be adlawed to override tbe pedettrian-
fiiendly gaalities of the trarkYianal hamlet cenlerr. Yet, the economic vitak3y of there business districts must be enhanced in
aesthetically attractive ways. In Mattituck and Cutcbague business groups have already stepped to the plate by initiating
streetscape projects in publiclprivate partnerships with the Town and other public agencies."
Scenic Southold Corridor Management Plan -The proposed project is consistent wrath and will advance
'
' s
the intent and objectives of the Scenic Southold Corridor Management Plan (CbfP). Page iii of the CNIP
Executive Sntmnan~ describes the local citizen's ~dsion for what the Town of Southold should be in ten years,
as a scenic eomdor and as a eomxnunity: `2n this comforting and appealing vision, defined through a series ofpublic
meetings which bighkgbted the Scenic Byways planning procer.r, tra~c un71 move at a rearonabde speed through the village hamlets,

Long Island Non-Motorized Transportation Study -This project will also fulFill many of the goals and
recommendations of the 1~1'SDOT/l~l'bITC Long Island lion-'.Motorized Transportation Smdy (LINMTS).
Specifically, this project will implement one of the study's proposed on-road bike cortidoxs: Youngs venue
' from the existing Route 25 on-road bike route to the Horton Lighthouse in Southold. The proposed route
will also connect to the Tow^n's Seaview Trails Bike System. Bicycle racks are also proposed for this project
at several key locations including municipal pazking lots and wain stations within the town centers to improve
multi-modal transportation.
Assurance of Availability) Size of ?Matching Share
The Town of Southold guarantees the provision of a 20°/u local match fox this project. The Town's previous
' success with federal aid projects, as pre~aously discussed in Attachment "A" of this application, demonstrates
its ability to furnish the matching share.
Direct Usex Immediate Area and Environmental Benefits
The proposed project increases the availability, awareness and protection of the lustoxic communities. Direct
users who will benefit from this project include pedestrians, cyclists, boaters, commuters, tourists, transit
riders, and residents. This project will also provide accessibility to people with disabilities. In fact, the North
' Fork is the fastest older citizen growling area in the State. The 55 and older percentage fox the area is among
the highest in New York State.

Innovation. Creatic-it;~. lfix of activities
This comprehensive, townw•ide project will meet three (3) distract eligible transportation enhancement
activities Facilities fox Pedestrians and Bicycles, Scenic ox Historic Highway Programs, and Landscaping and
Other Scenic Beautification.
This project will offer an innovative approach to the design of pedestrian and bicycle accommodations and
streetscape enhancements. The design will feature the following innovative, yet time-tested products:
• Imprint Crosswalks -synthetic asphalt embossed in a brick-like pattern for NY 25 (installed on NY 710)
• DutaThetm Crosswalks - a decorative asphalt surfacing system proposed for CR 48 (installed on CR 9~
• Lighted Crosswalk System -automatic, sensor activated, in-road lighting when pedestrians aze present.
Proposed for Peconic lane (installed on Hospital Raad, Tawn o_fBrookbaven).
• CU Structural Soil T"t -developed by Cornell Universih•, proposed beneath and around new tree pits to
spur healthy sweet trees by forcing deep root growth reducing the potential fox heaving and cracking to
adjacent pavers and sidewalk. Proposed for Traveler Street and Griffin Street (installed throughout 7V1'~.
• Pedestrian-Activated Flashing Beacon -provides increased visibility and warning to drivers that a
pedestrian is present in the crosswalk. Proposed for CR48 crosswalk at Love Lane.
• "Sharrow" Bike Symbols -Experimental shazed-roadway pavement mazkings to complement bike
route signage. Proposed for Youngs Avenue (installed in Nem fork City).
• Architectural Bike Racks -Decorative yet functional bikes to be used in historic hamlet centers to
complement conventional bike racks proposed within municipal and railroad pazking lots.
• Interactive Visitor Center Kiosks -Interactive, touch-screen, kiosks are proposed to educate visitors
on the history, env-ironment, recreational facilities and State-designated Scenic B}way within the Town.
With regard to the use of CU Stmctural Soil TM, this project could sea-e as a "model" for street tree planting
standazds or as a case srudy analyzing the benefits of this innovative product. In general, landscape architects
and axborists alike have widely accepted Structural Soil as the recommended treatment for use around newly
planted street trees in urban areas to prevent the upheaval of curbs and sidewalk and to promote healthy,
deep tree root growth. Although widely used throughout New Yoxk City, on Long Island municipalities
t}'pically shy away from using the product citing that the initial installation is cost prohibitive. \ti'hat is
generally not taken into account is the significant cost sac-ings over time with the reduction in tree, curb and
sidewalk maintenance and need for tree replacement..-1 case srudv could document the long-term benefits of
the product within Long Island downtown azeas.
as previously mentioned, the Comdor A~anagement Plan (CMP) and State designation of the North Fork
' Trail Scenic B}way has recognized the CR48, N'Y 25 and Sound .venue comdors as areas of special
statewide significance and welcomes the promotion, presere-ation and awareness of the area's scenic,
historic, recreational and natural elements. The transportarion linkages, downtown beautificadons, and visitor
center improvements proposed under this project supports the CAMP and Scenic B}wa}' visions. This project
' also compliments the Town's current project PIN 0758.90 -Planning and Construction of Interpretive
Signage& Kiosk Facilities along the North Fork Trail Scenic Byway. The pedestrian links will pro~Zde access
to proposed kiosks situated in hamlet centers and interpretive signs in the Town's preserves and historic sites.

Level of Community. Regional Support
The level of community support for this project is unparalleled as demonstrated by the 3,SOOt hours of
vo/uateer time and et1"ortby the nine (9) Haznlet Stakeholder organizations and the Town of Southold as
they conducted a comprehensive "grass-roots" outreach program to identify critical needs and deficiencies
related to pedestrian and bicycle facilities, street aesthetics and beautification, transportation links, tourism,
and oc-erall public safety. The dozens of stakeholder members are committed to and are eagerly anticipating
the award of this project as stated in their letters of support. In addition, the project has the support of the
local elected officials, Town Supervisor and the Town Board who unanunously adopted the proposed project
in an April 2008 Town Board meeting.
