Attention, Hampton Bays residents, regarding a Route 24 extension: There was a public hearing at Town Hall recently, and no one showed up, pro or con, about this proposal. It has received negative comments before on this and at other Hampton Bays sites. However, those comments don’t count, since they are not on the record.
If we don’t speak up on the record, we will get this road whether we want it or not. Your comments are needed this week. And, hopefully, you can show up at next week’s Town Board meeting. You can do both.
There is only one public comment period left on this proposal. That is the Town Board meeting on Tuesday, July 13, at 1 p.m. Meetings are open to the public now, so people should go in person. Also, the record is open for written comments. Please let your voices be heard.
If you cannot attend this meeting, you can submit comments for the public record to the town clerk at: townclerk@southamptontownny.gov.
Please spread the word if you care about this issue.

Kudos to Craig Catalanotto [“What Are We Doing?” Letters, April 18] and Barbara Ring [“Tangled Web” Letters, April 18] for their letters to the editor shining a light on the web of special interests, conflicts of interest and misinformation that...
September 11 and October 7, similar dates of infamy for strong allies with similarly divergent reactions. Now gathered mobs of protesters are cheering on those who cry “Death to America” and call for the complete annihilation and genocide of the...
On June 25, registered Democrats will go to the ballot box to determine who will represent their ticket for New York’s 1st Congressional District. Although CD1 has recently been held by Republicans, both parties have assumed leadership over the years....
I thank Barbara Ring for aptly proving my point. In response to my letter [“An Alliance,” Letters, April 11], which decried the state of civic public discourse in Hampton Bays as being overtaken by misinformation, fear-mongering and conspiracy peddling, Ring...
