Catskill Avenue Traffic Study

UPDATE NOTICE – 9/5/2023

PILOT TRAFFIC CHANGES ON CATSKILL AVENUE

In July, the Village of Lindenhurst retained Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI) of Babylon, N.Y., an engineering consulting firm, to have their Traffic Engineers review the Catskill Avenue Pilot Program, and make recommendations as to the best way forward. The traffic study has been extended in order to include a study of traffic during the morning and afternoon commute while school is in session. The final traffic study findings will be presented at the next public meeting regarding this topic:

Third Public Meeting Regarding Catskill Avenue Pilot Program
September 26, 2023 at 7:00 PM – Doors Open at 6:30 PM
Rainbow Room (located at the Rainbow Center) 293 Buffalo Avenue

Questions and comments from the public will be heard following the presentation.

Copies of the traffic study will be available at the meeting.

**Copies of this notice were hand delivered by the Department of Public Works to the properties in this area at the beginning of September.

UPDATE NOTICE – 7/14/2023

Please be advised, in response to the concerns of residents expressed at the June 29^th Public Meeting, the Village Board has retained Greenman-Pedersen Inc. (GPI), of Babylon, N.Y.,  an engineering consulting firm, to have their Traffic Engineers review the Catskill Avenue Pilot Program, and make recommendations as to the best way forward.  Therefore, please be advised that the Pilot Program will remain while GPI Traffic Engineers are working on the study.  The Traffic Engineers will be doing the following within the next week:

Along westbound NY 27/Sunrise Highway, a left turn lane to Catskill Avenue is in place.  The Village recently closed access to Catskill Avenue and 41^st Street along the south side of Sunrise Highway.  Some residents along Buffalo Avenue have raised concerns about the increase in traffic, particularly truck traffic, since the aforementioned closures were put in place. GPI is being retained to conduct traffic counts to determine the volume and vehicle mix of U-turns at the Catskill Avenue median opening and their destination along eastbound Sunrise Highway.  This will include the number of vehicles and vehicle type that turn right onto Buffalo Ave, turn illegally at 41^st and 42^nd Avenues, turn into businesses or continue east of Buffalo Ave.

The Traffic Study will last for two weeks, and a report is expected within two weeks of its conclusion.  The public will be notified when the report is completed, and will be available for review.  Please note, the Village Board will not make any permanent changes to the traffic flow without an additional Public Meeting, with input from the GPI Traffic Engineers and the residents.

Thank you for everyone’s patience in this matter.  I trust that the final decision on the traffic flow will be resolved to the benefit and satisfaction of the majority of our residents. Again, thank you.

This notice will also be hand delivered to homes in the area, shared via the Village’s Genasys alert system, posted to social media, and posted to the Village’s website. Feel free to share this information with your neighbors.

LOCATION CHANGE: Due to weather, the 9/11 Memorial Service location has been changed to the Fire Department Main House, 225 South Wellwood Avenue.

Please join us at 7:00 PM.

September 11, 2001 will live in the mind of every American throughout time.  America will never forget 9/11/01.  Lindenhurst will never forget.  September 11^th is a time to remember all that was lost to us that day: our sense of security, our peace, our innocence, our belief that we were safe beyond such random violence.  Most of all, we remember those who lost their lives, specifically, the eight Lindenhurst residents that lost or gave their lives that horrific day.

This year, the Village of Lindenhurst will be holding our 22^nd Year Candlelight Remembrance Service beginning at 7:00PM on Monday, September 11^th, 2023 at the Lindenhurst Fire Department Main House, 225 South Wellwood Avenue.

Mayor Michael Lavorata said “It would be an honor to have you join us as we mark the 22^nd anniversary of 9-11 and pause to remember.” 

For further information about the program, call Lindenhurst Village Hall at 631-957-7500.
