Second Rails to Trails Informational Meeting To Be Held

Second informational meeting will take place in Rocky Point.

Updated information on a possible Rails to Trails project on LIPA property from Port Jefferson to Wading River will be given at a second meeting on the project on Nov. 28, 7 p.m. at the Rocky Point VFW Hall.

The first meeting, held back in July, was held to give basic information and receive early feedback on the project headed by the Suffolk County Department of Public Works and consulting firm, the RBA Group. At that meeting, it was estimated the project would cost around $8-10 million, with 80 percent of the funding coming from the federal government and the rest by local government.

Since that meeting, Legis. Sarah Anker has been asking the community for feedback on the project with many in support and many opposed as well. This second meeting is designed to provide up to date information about the program and gather more input from the community as well.

Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of theRead More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".

sorry hit enter and it popped my statement in above too soon... I'm likely right that all townsRead More along sound need to have remediation plans on board, but that doesn't mean they have the funds to get it done. I would not be surprised if the meatballs running crookhaven missed the mother-load of that Superfund.

Jennifer, if Bonner speaks about the town trying to buy the property next to east of Scotts beachRead More (or scots - spelling?) forget about it. that property is meaningless to issues east of that point. Oh by the way this is not confirmed yet but I hear our new Highway guy is/was the lawyer for the guy who owns that track of land. crookhaven makes strange bedfellows hey?

That made me smile! My mom passed away when I was a child and not a day has gone by in the past 37Read More years that I don't think about her and wonder who this woman was who gave her children the gift of life but never had the opportunity to see her children grow up. The little that I remember of her warms my heart. I wish all mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and Godmothers a blessed Mother's Day! :)
