Letters

A few weeks ago, regarding the trade parade traffic dilemma, I suggested that all vehicles must have at least two occupants. I surmised this because every morning on my way to work to Riverhead, I drive past the eastbound traffic and said, conservatively, at least 50 percent of the vehicles have one occupant.

Today, again, on my way to Riverhead, I revise that 50 percent to, at a minimum, 80 percent.

The town should, for one day, get a count via observing at one point at the east end of Sunrise Highway each vehicle’s occupant count. Then they might think about restricting the number of vehicle occupants.

When I inquired about my initial Southampton Press letter, two responded and said that, for many legal issues, it can’t be done.

I ask today, why?
