MILLER PLACE CIVIC ASSOCIATION ASKS COMMUNITY MEMBERS TO CALL NEW YORK STATE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Sample Script:

Hi, my name is [________] and I am [calling/writing] today from Miller Place, NY regarding the pending traffic safety investigation of the intersection of Miller Place Rd and State Route 25A. On Friday, February 24th, a 14-year old boy lost his life while using the pedestrian crosswalk. Unfortunately this incident is not the first of its kind. Just last year another Miller Place teen was fatally struck by oncoming traffic at the very same intersection.

Our community is devastated and heart-broken. The community feels very strongly that this section of road is dangerous and not enough has been done to provide adequate safety for pedestrians. We are demanding that the comprehensive traffic safety study of this intersection currently underway at the New York State Department of Transportation be expedited in order to thoroughly investigate and reveal the contributing issues to this intersection.

We believe much more needs to be done to insure that this does not happen again. Each day that passes exposes our community to the continued dangers of this intersection. We want a remedy that adequately provides for pedestrian safety as quickly as possible.

Notice of Public Information Meeting for Rails to Trails - Mark your Calendars! Mount Sinai to Wading River Rails to Trails Public Information Meetings will be held on March 22, 2017 at 6:00 PM in the Shoreham-Wading River High School Auditorium and on April 5, 2017 at 6:00 PM in the Miller Place High School Auditorium to present details on this project. Click each photo below for further details:

The latest information that the MPCA has since the clustered Preliminary Site Plan was approved by the Town's Planning Board is that Suffolk County had the property reappraised with the new configuration of 7 lots on roughly 4 acres. The new appraised value was submitted to the owner but the new number may still not have high enough. We are hopeful that the owner might reconsider the offer and allow Suffolk County to acquire the parcel to add to the Cordwood Nature Preserve. MPCA had identified this important parcel for preservation many many years ago and we will continue to assist with the preservation of this precious parcel.
