Bike paths, as we use the term, would also allow use by runners, hikers, and rollerbladers. It is very important that the bike path be physically separated from the main highway for safety and aesthetic reasons. Although a bike path would necessitate greater outlays, the extra costs may be funded through state and federal programs. Suburban traffic patterns difficult. Bus station at Smith Haven Mall.
Less congestion means that buses travel faster too.
The Towns could enforce complementary land use planning concepts, like greater setbacks from the highway and requirement for enhanced landscaping for new developments. Paramount among our objectives is to reduce and eliminate, if possible, the risk of harm or injury to travelers, whether on foot, bicycle, or in vehicle. Fewer overpasses and more traffic lights mean more congestion. Overpasses should not only be placed at high volume intersections, but also at locations adjacent to schools, fire stations, and hospitals. For this reason, we support overpasses at Route 112, Jayne Boulevard, and Terryville Road in Port Jefferson Station.
