The words “New Suffolk” and “traffic” don’t seem to go together, but a study conducted over two weekends in July does show that the hamlet has a serious parking problem.
Members of the Southold Town Board, outside consultants and some hamlet residents came together via Zoom last Wednesday evening to discuss the ongoing New Suffolk Comprehensive Parking Study.
The central issue of the town-sponsored traffic study is that on summer weekends, visitors have been parking on residential streets in the hamlet and walking to the town beach facing Robins Island.
