Ferry Us

Why don’t we have “inter”-village ferries, similar to the Amalfi Coast, that run along our bays and can port at each village? Imagine the reduction of summer traffic if you could ride in a great ferry from Southampton or Sag Harbor all the way to Montauk, making stops in each village?

Manger refused to pass a resolution authorizing the engagement and cut off any attempt to bring transparency to the issue. Robin Brown then doubled down on her claim that she was “exonerated,” but the issue at ... by Staff Writer
