Dear Ms. McDuffee:
JOSEPH H. BOaRDMAn
COMMISSIONER
JUN ! 8 2001
Your April 10, 2001 Submission
Cutchogue-New Suffolk Downtown Revitalization Plan
Route 25, Cutchogue
Our Case No: 01-48P/01-105P
This is in reference to the application for a Highway Work Permit to install street lighting, a
covered bus shelter and sidewalk on Route 25 in Cutchogue.
The subject area is within thc limits of Project Identification Number 0041.99 which is currently
scheduled for a February 20, 2003 letting. The installation of the items you are proposing would
be removed in order for the State to perform the contract work. Therefore, we suggest that
you delay your project until after the State work is completed.
You expressed a concern about the approval for the installation of street lighting, which would
allow you to purchase the lighting fixtures. We have no objection to the installation of the
lighting which must be coordinated with our project. The lighting must be installed without
obstructing the shoulder which is used for parking in the village. The lighting must be confined
to the sidewalk area and not impact the roadway.
The proposed changes in Griffin Ave. may proceed as it will not impact the work that is being
performed on State Route 25. The detail which you submitted showing the construction ora
raised island which would prohibit left tums onto Route 25 is not acceptable. Vehicles would
still be able to make a left turn to eastbound Route 25, which you are trying to eliminate. The
possibility of making Griffin a "One Way" street for northbound traffic from east and westbound
Route 25 should be considered.
