New Storm Warnings for The Island
More snow is being forecast for Long Island starting early Tuesday morning and through the day. Ice pellets are expected later in the day and may continue through Wednesday. Shovels and blowers - get ready. (Perhaps some ice melt as well). Check the weather icon in the right sidebar for the latest.
Snow Removal Budget Not Exceeded ..Yet
Town Highway Supervisor Gio Goodson says that his department still has some funds left in the snow removal part of the Town budget and may be good for another few storms. (Ed note: snow removal and street plowing seems to be better this year than last but why do they always have to plow the snow into your driveway after you worked so hard to clear it out?)
Things I Don't Understand (there are so many)
Why is Supervisor Sean Walter so determined to tear down the Second Street Firehouse to make way for more parking for a downtown movie theater that hasn't been built yet. Shouldn't new planning for EPCAL include a multiplex theater similar to Island 16? Who wants to go downtown to see a movie anyway? What about the theater renovation on Main Street thats been going on for years now?
Don't Understand Part 2
The Town is about to sign a consulting contract for somewhere close to a half million dollars to develop a visionary plan for EPCAL. We still have a plan (that is not outdated). We have capable people on the Board and in our Planning Department. (I do not attribute this same capability to the Planning Board however.) Applying simple common sense to the problem and normal marketing techniques should permit development of this great asset for the benefit of the Township and it's residents.
