Midweek last week, I stood on Armande Street between Halsey Street and Moses Lane in Southampton Village at about 5:30 p.m. and counted cars. Of the first 20 cars that passed me, 17 were driver-only cars, and the other three had just one passenger.
Clearly, ride-sharing is absolutely essential. The only question is how Southampton Town is going to provide safe parking and ride-sharing opportunities for those who need to travel through our town.

Traffic FixesDoes anyone who suggests traffic resolutions live in this area or drive in this area? Install bumps on Somerset/Pleasant streets to slow traffic. End the “no right turn” fiasco there, because have you seen the nightmare this “no turning right”...
Step It UpI’d like to add to Karl Grossman’s column [“Zeldin Under Fire,” Suffolk Closeup, Opinion, July 31], in which he informed readers of Lee Zeldin’s disastrous leadership of the Environmental Protection Agency. Alongside the anti-environmental actions mentioned in Mr. Grossman’s column,...
More Than a StainThe people of Southampton should understand exactly what their town government is doing when it appeals the federal government’s recognition of the Shinnecock Nation’s Westwoods property [“Southampton Town Takes Department of Interior to Court Over Status of Tribal Land in...
Bold Action NeededMy last Letter to the Editor, a year ago, addressed traffic. Nothing has changed — it has only gotten worse. There are just too many cars on the road at the same time, which will increase exponentially if left unchecked....
