Greenway Trail Expansion Expected to Start Soon

Construction will start this spring and add 2 miles to the trail, according to a report published in The Village Times Herald.

A two-mile expansion of the Greenway Trail in Setauket and Port Jefferson Station is set to kick off this spring, according to a report in The Village Times Herald.

The current 1.5-mile trail will be expanded one mile to the east and one mile to the west, so that it will connect Limroy Lane near the East Setauket Post Office on Route 25A all the way to the parking lot on Route 112 near Chereb Lane in Port Jefferson Station.

Kiosks at the both ends are planned for the trail, as well as possible bike racks, according to the report.

Charles McAteer, chairman of Friends of the Greenway, said in an email to The Village Times Herald: "The town lines should not be a barrier to people using this community gem. As we meet persons from other communities we see how connected we truly are and share many of the same goals for improving life on Long Island for our families."

Clearing the way for the project was the completion of the surface excavation at the Lawrence Aviation Superfund site in Port Jefferson Station.

So, essentially that first residential home is being written off as the price of doing business.Read More There goes that property value. Other than as a professional residence, who would want to live by a driveway for that traffic? As for the entrance Village Automotive, that will bring even more traffic to an already busy intersection nearby. 25A is impassable/impossible in that area for large chunks of the day now.

The rezoning is for the acres of undeveloped residential land across from Ann Maries Farm stand,Read More extending down to the wooded area on 25A. A one way entrance would be placed by Village Automotive and a one way exit would come out on N. Country Rd. adjacent to the first residential house.

Can you tell us where this property is? An address or street name?

Seriously? We are asked to send in enough supplies per kid each year to supply 5 kids. Where does itRead More all go? It gets lost, thrown out, or ends up back in the students home via backpack. The problem is not the lack of supplies, but a lack of personal responsibility. But if we send in enough supplies each year for ten or fifteen students, then we might be able to avoid the underlying problem.

everyone should research what all the school administrators are raking in and the multple levels ofRead More staff that exists at TVCSD. It is beyond reasonable to have salaries at that level and multiple administrators and assistants and directors and assistant directors and chairman etc. Teachers earn their fair share!

Another 60,70,80 to be laid off? My vote is NO!!!!
