WHAT IF THESE WERE CHILDREN? Just before 6:00 p.m. on Thursday July 6th, a driver from Rocky Point, who had been gambling at Foxwoods all night, fell asleep at the wheel a few minutes after leaving the Cross Sound Ferry and flipped his car into the historic cemetery opposite the Oysterponds School. 20 tombstones, most from the 19th century, were destroyed. The driver survived, and miraculously there were no bikers or strollers on the road. But an additional 451 parking spaces at Orient Point would mean an additional 902 times a day that something like this could happen. |  | |||||||||||
President's Message

 |
Please support the Town Board’s initiative to limit Cross Sound Ferry expansion. Fill out our petition. | |||||||||||
 | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Without legislation to impose necessary and appropriate limits on the number of trips, number of vehicles, size of boats, and hours of operation, Southold Town is destined to become a traffic corridor to southern New England, with serious impacts on our environment and our quality of life. Unless steps are taken now to curb its growth, this has the potential to overwhelm our town, pollute our air and groundwater, threaten our tourist and second-home industry and our fishing and shellfishing industry, and create even more dangerous traffic situations. The Town Board is considering legislation to cap Cross Sound Ferry operations at fair and reasonable levels, based on an analysis of the impact of the cars and boats on our health and safety, and on the environment. We must strongly support this effort. | ||
