Sidewalk to Nowhere

I have been recently apprised of the sidewalk project proposed for the west end of County Road 39 [“Sidewalk Construction Will Mean Regular Lane Closures for Two Years on County Road 39,” 27east.com, March 8], with the tone-deaf plan to disrupt already chaotic traffic both eastbound and westbound for a period of two years. Considering nothing less than the astounding traffic crisis that repeats itself every day — twice a day — the county, in its infinite wisdom, plans to spend nearly $10 million on the sidewalk to nowhere, inconveniencing 87,000 vehicles a day, creating a sidewalk that will be ... by Staff Writer

VIEWPOINT: The Supreme Court Case That Could Radically Change Elections

The central issue was the question as to whether state legislatures should have independent power, not subject to any judicial review by state courts, to ... by Peter Mayer

Overrule His Dictates

Just as Jay Schneiderman’s contempt for the public was apparent when the Nelson Pope Voorhis contract failed to delete comments that revealed the town’s intent to disparage opposition as NIMBY-ism, labeling it “public outreach,” so is his latest outrageous overreach: telling the public to stay home from the upcoming Bel-Aire Cove Motel public meeting if they wanted to discuss anything but his two development alternatives. So as not to stray too far from reality, the public, as well as this supervisor, should remember: Schneiderman was elected by the public to execute their wishes, address their concerns, spend their money wisely ... by Staff Writer

It Affects Us All

The Suffolk County Public Works Department is proposing a $9.6 million sidewalk plan for the north and south sides of County Road 39 in Southampton [“Sidewalk Construction Will Mean Regular Lane Closures for Two Years on County Road 39,” 27east.com, March 8]. Suffolk County has already requested bids for the two-year-long construction project. The Public Works Department claims there is a need for pedestrian safety. At the March 6 public information online meeting, local residents questioned the need for the sidewalks, as there is very little pedestrian traffic in the area. The Suffolk County Legislature proposal states that the construction ... by Staff Writer
