A long-anticipated traffic study of the Love Lane area was officially accepted for completion at a Town Board meeting Tuesday.
Consultants were hired to prepare the study after the Town Board deemed a previous study inadequate in 2018. The new study, done by engineers from AKRF, featured an expanded scope and includes the eight arterial roads that feed into Route 25 within the impact area.
According to deputy supervisor Jill Doherty, the next steps include posting the study for public review and scheduling a virtual public meeting to present the report, similar to how the recent New Suffolk parking study was presented in December.

In an era of social distancing and warnings against indoor gatherings, outdoor public spaces are playing a more crucial role for local families and community groups.
And while there’s no shortage of preserved land, hiking trails and parkland in Southold, there are few options for outdoor meeting areas.
That could change with a new pavilion proposed for Tasker Park in Peconic.
Recreation supervisor Janet Douglass presented plans for the 20-foot by 40-foot structure at a work session last Tuesday, saying that even before the pandemic, multiple groups vying for public meeting space had put a strain on indoor recreation facilities.
