I have a notice that it was posted on the 28th day of February, 2013 in the Suffolk Times
as well as on the Town Clerk's bulletin board on the 19th day of February, 2013. And
that is it.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I would invite anybody that would like to comment on this
local law to please feel free at this time? Please.
BERNIE SPR1NGSTEEL: Hi, good evening. My name is Bernie Springsteel. I live on
Main Bayview, 7760. About five months ago I sent a letter in about that very thing and
we were almost clobbered one night. We were on Main Bayview by a truck who was
playing chicken with us out of that street and I go there all the time and it is constantly a
game to who comes out first. The yield sign is practically worthless and I think if the
road was straight and that was an intersecting road, there would normally be a stop sign
anyhow. So I don't know how that yield sign ever got there. About three years ago or
four years ago maybe, them was a stop sign there for about a month. And then it went
back to yield again. I don't know if anybody recalls that but at the time I didn't do
anything about it but I thought I would just mention it.
Amendment to Chapter 260 Public Hearing 3
March 12, 2013
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: There was discussion about that stop sign that was up there
for a short period of time and apparently there was never a public hearing to approve
having it put up. I think that's the reason it came down.
MR. SPRINGSTEEL: Oh, maybe. I have no idea. I just thought I would mention it. I
couldn't understand that.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: A good opportunity now for me to just let the public know
how these things take place in terms of changes to stop signs etc. I believe I got a request
fi.om you some months ago and what I would do with your request was to go fi.om a yield
to a stop sign, I took your request, I give it to the Transportation Commission who is
made up of Superintendent Harris, the police chief and others who review every request.
And they do go out, they go out on site and look. They put a lot of work and then they
make a recommendation to the Town Board. In this instance, they had actually
recommended to support your request. Which was to go from a yield sign to a stop sign.
MR. SPRINGSTEEL: Good. And is that what will probably happen?
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I believe we had anticipated taking all comment tonight and
then acting on the measure itself in two weeks. We wanted to give the public time to be
heard, for all sides to be heard and usually what we like to do is wait and give people two
weeks and if there is any opposition or support for it, we will take that for the next two
weeks and then make a decision then.
MR. SPRlNGSTEEL: Okay. Thank you very much.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you for commenting. Peter?
PETER HARRIS, SOUTHOLD HIGHWAY SUPERINTENDENT: Good evening. I
myself had received a phone call from three residents that live down on the Bayview
area, specifically from the east and their claim was that cars entering Main Bayview and
going in an easterly direction were coming and going, coming shooting out of this side
street and going across the double yellow line in an easterly direction and some very
close, near misses. So myself, I have, as the superintendent, I have no problem with the
fact that we concurred with the Transportation Commission that it be changed to a stop
sign and as far as the, when there was a stop sign, inadvertently what happened was the
sign that had been there must have gotten stolen and inadvertently someone other than the
regular sign person saw the sign missing and grabbed a stop sign out of the sign shop and
put it back up because if you see a stop sign missing, you are supposed to replace it right
away and they either inadvertently someone other than the regular sign man put the stop
sign up in place and then when he got back and realized it was supposed to be a yield
sign, that was when it got changed back.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: So what you are saying is, there is someone with a yield sign
in a college dorm room somewhere.
Amendment to Chapter 260 Public Hearing 4
March 12, 2013
MR. HARRIS: That and Peanut Alley.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Peter, you don't have any knowledge of that, if there was
ever a public hearing regarding that stop sign being changed, do you?
MR. HARRIS: No. No, there was not.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Because we couldn't find any.
MR. HARRIS: No, this is the first time. (inaudible) whether that makes sense or not, a
public hearing has to be held and the Town Board would have to pass a resolution in
order for it to be changed.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Alright. Thank you. Would anyone else like to comment on
this particular local law?
DEREK BOSSEN: Derek Bossen, I am a resident of Main Bayview and I am actually
Bernie's across the street neighbor. My concern isn't really with the installation of a stop
sign at that intersection, my issue is the speeding that occurs on Main Bayview Road. If
we are going to curtail the speeding, I mean, the speed limit is 35 miles an hour. I have
driven on that road and I have probably have broken the law and actually been passed by
people going around me by who don't have flashing lights. It is terrifying. I get at least,
my exuberant young boys who are with me tonight and we live right on Main Bayview,
right at Cedar Drive. I would like to see a possible reconfignration of that intersection at
Baywater and Main Bayview that would either possibly construct a round about which is
probably ridiculous or a three way stop sign. But I would also want to see a stop sign at
Cedar Drive down where my house is, to slow down that traffic that comes flying down
that road in excess of 50 miles an hour or more. It is just, I believe that Main Bayview is
the, I would like to see more enforcement of the laws that exist. In regards to the yield
that is there right now at Bayview, to see it (inaudible) a greater distance back from
vegetation so you can see when you are coming around that comer. Not to (inaudible) on
the person who has that comer lot who has that comer lot at Bayview and Baywater, that
to you know, open up that view so people can see cars coming both ways. But when you
try to come in from Baywater on Main Bayview, you have got people coming around the
comer that, again, at speeds that are in excess of the speed limit. Who are taking that turn
like they think they are at Talladega coming around that comer. That is an awkward mm
there. I would like to see more enforcement of existing speed laws.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can tell you I hear that all the time. Of all the complaints I
get, speeding is the number one. It is speeding on Bayview, it is speeding on Nassau
Point Road, it is speeding on Great Peconic Bay Boulevard, it is speeding on Route 25 in
every hamlet. No doubt. We certainly do what we can. We are stretched pretty thin with
the police department and the way the sectors are set up. I think they do what they can,
we have used the smart sign on occasion. The smart sign, I don't know if it is effective
or not, I will leave that to the law authorities to determine that but it is certainly the
number one complaint I get is speeding in this community, no doubt. And I used to own
Amendment to Chapter 260 Public Hearing 5
March 12, 2013
a house not too far from you, down the end of Cedar Drive and I can attest how fast
people go on Bayview.
MR. BOSSEN: Yeah. And it is just, I fear crossing the street because I hear the car
coming and not knowing how fast they are going to travel, if I can make it across to
check my mail box, is it safe to cross? Is the car going to crest the hill before I get
halfway across the road and I just think to slow down the traffic on Main Bayview, I
mean, I know this is not the forum for the stop signs for that but I think the stop signs on
Main Bayview at some point would slow down that rush just to get ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I can tell you that the Transportation authorities are reluctant
to use stop signs as speed control measures. They generally only approve of the
installation of the stop sign because there is a real public health, safety and welfare with
an intersection. We have requests for stop signs on Great Peconic Boulevard etc., they
have generally turned those down because they are not meant to be speed control
initiatives but ....
MR. BOSSEN: Cedar Drive is that one with the blind road...
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Yes, you have got that hill coming up there.
MR. BOSSEN: You almost have to put your nose all the way out to even see.
COUNCILWOMAN DOHERTY: Can we ask the chief to maybe put the sign there now?
Spring is coming, maybe it is a good time to put it in that area to remind people.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: I will certainly, but I assure you, I get many complaints from
the Bayview area and many of the, these roads weren't built for cars doing 55.
MR. BOSSEN: Right. My house, in front of my house I have the dangerous
intersections.
COUNCILMAN TALBOT: Well, I am sure we can get the chief down there to ....
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: We will certainly ask the chief to bring some attention to it.
Thank you.
MR. BOSSEN: Thanks for your time.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Would anybody else like to comment on this particular local
law? Mr. Springsteel.
MR. SPRINGSTEEL: Just to support what he is saying, when I come out of Koke Drive
on any given day, this morning for one thing, I look left and right and then left and right
again and when you are looking right and you see way down, because it is pretty straight
there, and 1 have seen cars well down there so that I can mm, you get onto Main Bayview
Amendment to Chapter 260 Public Hearing
March 12, 2013
and you look in your rear view mirror and there is the guy, giving you the business
behind you and tailgating you because he was going so fast that he covered that distance
by the time I turned out into the street. So that is what happens also. To support what he
is saying.
SUPERVISOR RUSSELL: Thank you. Would anyone else like to comment on this
particular local law?
COUNCILMAN RULAND: I think that maybe many of us or some of us have heard
from people who either couldn't be here this evening or already expressed their opinion
but since there will be a viewing audience that will see this broadcast over the next two
weeks, I would encourage anybody who has seen this hearing on Channel 22 and is so
lead to contact us, to please send that in any form that they wish to the Supervisor's office
and his office will distribute that information to us. And that is email or it is by phone or
fax or whatever, snail mail or whatever works but I think that if someone feels strongly
enough that they would like to comment, we are certainly open to receiving.
This hearing was closed except for written (email or postal mail) comments until two
weeks from March 12, 2013 at 8:12 PM

Scott
Actually, a couple of years ago a stop sign was placed there. It was totally unworkable and counterintuitive to good
driving sense. When you approached it, the normal thought process was that you were stopping in the middle of a road
and would be rear ended. It was immediately removed presumably because of that. I am not sure why this would be
tried again.

Dear Supervisor Russell,
I understand the board will be making a decision regarding changing the current yield sign to a stop sign on the corner of
Baywater Ave. and Main Bayview Rd. The current yield sign allows for a continuous flow of traffic and prevents rear end
collisions from unnecessary stops at a stop sign. The line of sight at that intersection is very good and in the more than
10 years that I have been traveling that intersection I have seen no dangerous events caused by the yield sign. I predict,
however, that within 90 days of installing a stop sign we will see a rear end collision. Please don't change what works.
Respectively, Vic Zupa
