Inconvenient proposed changes to roads in Flower Hill

We've been living on woodland road for 25 years and have never experienced a problem. This will create major problems for flower hill residents.

We don't agree with proposed changes the increased traffic is due to pseg work on port boulevard and is temporary

I do not agree with the proposed changes to the traffic pattern in Flower Hill and believe that there is a better way to alleviate the traffic issues.

I too oppose this proposal. We have lived in Flower Hill for over 22 years. This has always been a well developed area - no appreciable amount of new construction has taken place, and the population density has therefor remained relatively constant. I have seen no need to modify the traffic patterns based on my historical use, and the study bears that out - it shows modest use at most of the streets in question. I would also echo the comments of several others. Any of the proposed changes will not eliminate traffic. All it will achieve is to redirect traffic to other streets, including Bonnie Heights and Country Club roads. There is no need for any change.

Unless I'm missing some glaring information this appears to be one of the most egregious and heavy handed "solutions" to a problem there is no compelling evidence exists. The Nelson & Pope study never should have been done in the first place (who approves such an expenditure) but their findings support my contention that there simply isn't an issue. Average of 50 cars per hour during peak times with traveling speeds averaging in the mid twenties. Did anyone read their findings or only their recommendations? What exactly are we attempting to correct? Not exactly bureaucracy's finest hour. No problem found, no changes required. Move on.

It would be extremely dangerous and force a lot of local traffic onto Middleneck Road.

This is a terrible idea. It has apparently been proposed by someone who has not lived in our community for the last 22 years as we have. The streets in issue here are not so busy or narrow that a one way street proposal makes any sense. If Farmview became one way, on a daily basis, people who live on Hewlett, the Spur and Birchdale would be greatl inconvenience and have to go out of their way and drive back and forth on Contry Club Drive, unnecessarily increasing traffic on that street, to what end? The proposal is ridiculous.

Nelson & Pope did not provide a baseline to allow an estimate of the increase of traffic during peak hours, nor do they measure the amount of cut-through traffic (as opposed to station traffic, for example) during those, or any, hours. The speeds seem to be reasonable, with no evidence of excessive speeding. There is no evidence of the need for any changes in traffic patterns or speed limits.

One way roads would only make people find other routes and would not solve the problem. So no to one way roads in Flower Hill.

WOuld prefer to see speed bumps than be inconvenienced by a change in traffic pattern. If there are any fallen trees or construction affecting the road it will be very difficult

I'm not interested with this one way street idia

This plan only considers major changes to our neighborhood traffic patterns and does not clearly, concisely, nor completely solve the main issue stated: slower safer speeds to protect the safety of our families and pedestrians. Contrary to the Nelson & Pope report claim, speed bumps are the easiest cost-effective way to solve the issue. They have proven to be effective throughout Nassau and Suffolk counties, as well as the more congested NYC boroughs. More importantly, the plan would greatly add to emergency vehicle [ Fire, Police and Ambulance] response times through labyrinth paths to individual homes in common daily emergencies. Additionally, in times of severe storm occurrences [as we recently experienced with Hurricane Sandy] where road blockages by fallen trees, debris, etc. on remaining outlet routes would greatly hamper many of us and re-routed nearby citizens in seeking access to major roads as rescue operations were being conducted. Further, we have seen the cause of delays in the recent PS&G gas line reconstruction. Imagine these kinds of repairs with fewer access routes to get around them. In careful consideration of this fundamental need, why would anyone reduce the main dual entrance and exit roads to our community? I worked as an engineer in N.Y.S. Dept. of Transportation In the Nassau-Suffolk Regional office for over 27 years in both Information Technical Services for Road Design and ICS Emergency Management positions.

The Village's time and money would be better spent on more speeding restrictions such as speed bumps or traffic lights to protect our kids and residents. This proposal makes no sense and will only inconvenience the residents of the affected streets. Also, if you are going to change traffic patterns, you must change it on every single Flower Hill street, not just a select few based on one study.

29 Hewlett Lane. This will be extremely inconvenient for us!!!!

These changes negatively affect the members of this community that have lived here for many years. In fact-it will force more traffic at the light between Northern blvd and Center Street that has notoriously been a frequent accident point. This proposal makes no sense.

These changes will create both significant safety issues as well as tremendous inconvenience to residents. I strongly urge the Village not to move forward with them. Limiting the direction of travel on streets such as Woodland Road (and I'm sure others) will significantly limit the options to enter and exit the community for residents, emergency vehicles and others who may need to quickly respond to a emergent issue in the area. I have lived on Woodland Road for nearly 20 years and see absolutely no reason for this change which will negatively impair our everyday lives, not to mention put us at risk by limiting our entry and exit points. Don't do it! The risks and harm associated with these changes far outweigh any purported benefits.

Dont agree. They should spend more time studying how to fix the power outage and bring natural gas.

As a member of the community I find it distasteful the fact that no one was informed of these changes in our village. We have a Board of Directors that is supposed to protect us not hide things from us that affect not only our every day life but the marketability of our homes.

Once again the mayor and the board wasting energy while East Hills works with National Grid to get gas line deal to truly help their village. http://www.theislandnow.com/news/east-hills-announces-gas-line-deal/article_bde8ae48-57c9-11e5-8203-bbe19154b1f5.html
