At the Town Board work session Feb. 23, Heights Property Owners Corporation General Manager Stella Lagudis submitted a request for a ban on heavy delivery trucks from two roadways in the Heights.
A full presentation will happen next week, but Ms. Lagudis told the board that problems surfaced during a generally dry summer on Sunnyside Avenue and Serpentine Drive with heavy trucks barreling along posing safety issues and causing dust to fly. Besides beating up on roads, with the warm weather, residents who wanted to enjoy an outside lunch were finding their plans spoiled by the dustup.

With the holidays here, along with a new surge of the COVIID-19 coronaovirus, Shelter Island officials are expressing concern about residents traveling and attending events.
While Suffolk County is reporting 23 cases of the virus on Shelter Island, Deputy Supervisor Amber Brach-Williams told the Town Board at Tuesday’s work session that number is at 35 to 36 cases.
What is most alarming is that two-thirds of those cases have happened in the past two months compared with the one-third that occurred over a seven-month period from the time the pandemic started at the beginning March.
