25A Corridor Study

The Town of Brookhaven has initiated a corridor study covering the length of 25A from Mount Sinai to the Brookhaven Town line in Shoreham. A steering committee, which includes Civic Director Woody Brown and Miller Place School Board President Ann O’Brian, was selected by the Town and convened over the summer. The initial effort was to choose finalists from a number of contractors who had bid on the job. The winner of the contract was BFJ Planning.

The contract will be executed in two phases over the coming years. The 1st phase will be a visioning process with a charrette and public workshops scheduled for each of the hamlets along the study area. The 2nd phase will be an analysis and implementation phase.

The goals of the 25A Corridor Study are loosely stated as the following though individual hamlets can have additional and/or different goals:

1. Improve vehicular and pedestrian safety
2. Coordinate Town Planning with SCDPW and NYSDOT Transportation Planning
3. Redevelop Blighted Parcels
4. Revitalize existing Hamlets and Preserve unique attributes
5. Strengthen neighbor businesses and encourage walkable/green Hamlet Centers
6. Assess development pressure/ensure open space/community amenities
7. Maximize citizen participation
8. Integrate & Update into past hamlet Studies
9. Coordinate with Brookhaven 2030 Comprehensive Plan

The steering committee has been asked to help form a Community Advisory Committee (CAC), in each hamlet, comprising 15 – 20 people who have knowledge of the community, a willingness and the ability to meet regularly, and will provide leadership in helping the Visioning Phase (Phase 1) of the project. Meetings will begin in January.

If you are interested in participating on the Community Advisory Committee – please contact Woody Brown at wbrown@millerplacecivic.org or 631-764-4608.
