Preliminary List of Infrastructure Projects

LI Communities Ready for Federal Stimulus!

The 2009 Federal Stimulus package will provide resources for high priority infrastructure projects. Over the last two
months, Long Island’s Towns and Villages have pulled together over $3 billion of requests for funding for this years
Federal stimulus. Efforts from the municipalities of North Hempstead, Oyster Bay, Huntington, Brookhaven, Islip,
Riverhead, Babylon, Long Beach, Glen Cove as well as over ten villages have brought forward thoughtful
recommendations in the areas of transportation, sewers, green infrastructure, downtown, and small business assistance.
When State agencies requests from NYS DOT, DEC (through the Environmental Facilities Corp), NYPA and the MTA
are factored in, there is easily another $6 billion.
Towards that end, Vision Long Island, in coordination with twenty regional and local organizations, has prepared a
preliminary set of transportation and wastewater infrastructure recommendations. This list was developed from a survey
of priorities from the 2008 Smart Growth Summit, attended by over 800 Long Island leaders; feedback from the Smart
Growth News e-newsletter that reaches 8,000 Long Island residents each week; and ongoing work with local
communities, developers, and municipalities.
Most of these projects follow Smart Growth principles, focusing infrastructure in existing downtown centers or new
centers. In addition, these recommendations all either born out of a community vision, market driven private investments
and/or intelligent municipal planning.
In addition, Congress will be faced with a huge opportunity to invest in transit. The 2009 Transportation Authorization
Bill is being used by transit advocates as a way for the federal government to rectify the desperate need for a national
infrastructure system. The opportunities exist in the areas of transportation investments for both road maintenance and
pedestrian safety improvements and transit improvements for rail and bus, both in capital and operations assistance.
Sewer infrastructure is probably the largest area where Long Island can benefit, with 70% of Suffolk County unsewered
and Nassau systems in need of upgrade. Investment in sewage treatment facilities in Bay Park, Cedar Creek as well as
expanding service for new districts on commercial corridors or downtowns in Smithtown/Kings Park, Mastic/Shirley,
Rocky Point and Wyandanch must be a priority.
With billions of dollars pouring into infrastructure projects nationally, there is an enormous opportunity to make the new
and retrofitted infrastructure beneficial to the environment. Green infrastructure can include many things, from regional
or municipal investments in transit or other infrastructure to private investments in an individual building, technology or
company. It includes building wind and solar farms, expanding residential and commercial solar utilities, retrofitting and
weathering buildings, LEED green building certification, and more. New jobs include short-term construction and
engineering jobs, as well as long-term careers to maintain the new energy programs and retrofitted power plants.
Opportunities exist in the federal stimulus for tax breaks for small businesses. A provision in the stimulus bill would allow
businesses that lost money in 2008 to offset it against profits earned from as far back as five years ago (currently, this
provision is limited at 2 years). Businesses would be able to recoup the taxes they paid in this time frame in order to make
up for their losses. Only 90 percent of the loss can be carried back while the rest if forfeited.
There are also developments of regional significance that are at different levels of support. Infrastructure assistance for
the Glen Cove waterfront development, the Lighthouse project in the Nassau HUB and varying development projects in
downtown Riverhead are all large scale initiatives that have public support and are, at least politically, “ready to go”.

631-261-0242, 631-754-4452 FAX, ea@visionlongisland.org, www.visionlongisland.org
Projects that need additional vetting include the MTA’s 3rd Track, NYS DOT’s Intermodal Rail, Suffolk County’s
Yaphank County Center, the Heartland Development in Brentwood, and Riverhead Resorts in Calverton. While folks
would recognize that these projects are “game changers,” it would be premature to advance these initiatives without full
environmental review and further public input.
All told, these public investments are necessary to bring needed revitalization to our "Main Streets" on Long Island and
across the state where 225,000 New Yorkers have recently lost their jobs. These policies will strengthen Long Island's
nearly 100 existing downtown commercial business districts and can assist in the redevelopment of 15 commercial
corridors and at least 8 new economic centers.
Let’s work on the projects where there is public consensus; ones that will synergize our downtowns, clean our
environment, and create jobs. Working closely with our local officials, small business community, civic and
environmental leaders will point us towards wise investments for Long Island’s future.

Sewer District No. 8 – Ronkonkoma/Lake Ronkonkoma, Town of Brookhaven, $90,000,000
The service area proposed for the Lake Ronkonkoma Hub would be relatively compact, being in the vicinity of the
Long Island Rail Road and north of Islip’s MacArthur Airport. Due to the location in the vicinity of the airport, at
grade or underground facilities would be easily sited. The service area would run approximately 1.5 miles and
require the sewer system to be jacked under the Long Island Rail Road, going to a wastewater treatment facility
on the airport site.

Ocean Avenue on the east. It includes a number of strip shopping centers and vacant areas that can be developed
for revitalization, workforce housing, and associated development in the vicinity of the railroad station. In
addition, the area has existing onsite systems that have the potential for underflow going to Mud Creek, Senix
Creek, Areskonk Creek, and Orchard Neck Creek, all of which discharge to Moriches Bay. A location of a
wastewater treatment plant may be difficult in the area considering the high groundwater and the distance from
the service area that is proposed. The design flow would be approximately .75 mgd with the wastewater treatment
plant requiring approximately 8 acres of land for recharge. Three pump stations are assumed to be necessary
with force mains leading to the treatment plant.
D- Estimated Jobs Created: 1375 4
Mastic/Shirley Sewers and Infrastructure, Mastic/Shirley, $35,000,000
The Mastic/Shirley study area has been evaluated in the past. Its sewers would run from William Floyd Parkway
to the Forge River along CR 80 – Montauk Highway. There are approximately 197 lots in the area that would
produce 300,000 gallons per day. The length of the system is 1.7 miles. Approximately 5 acres are required for
this particular facility with two pumping stations. Benefits include steps to improve the quality of the Forge River,
revitalization of the area with the potential of affordable and workforce housing along with other area economic
developments.
Long Island Sound Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements, SUNY Stonybrook, $5,400,000
It is necessary to upgrade wastewater infrastructure in the Long Island Sound ecosystem to provide jobs and
improve the water quality in this nationally significant estuary. Long Island Sound is a globally significant
ecosystem providing critical habitat for an extraordinary array of birds, fish and other wildlife, and contributing
more than $6 billion to the Northeast regional economy annually. The quality of its waters and marine
environments impact more Americans than any other estuary in the United States, as more than 28 million people
(a full 10 percent of the US population) live within 50 miles of its shores.
Rocky Point Sewers and Infrastructure, Rocky Point, $150,000,000
The Rocky Point service area runs approximately 3 miles with much of the length on the southern portion of the
area being New York State Conservation land. It is assumed for the purpose of the brief estimate that only the
north side would be served. The design flow would be 0.6 million gallons per day with conventional or alternate
sewer systems installed and approximately 8 acres being required for recharge.
Town of Babylon:
Wyandanch New Sewers, Town of Babylon, $30,000,000
The Town of Babylon has been utilizing engineering assistance to develop a plan for the downtown revitalization
of the Straight Path quarter. Currently, 1,200 apartments and revitalization to the commercial areas are
proposed. A sewage flow of 0.3 mgd is expected with a total sewer system line of 2.5 miles constructed in Straight
Path. Jacking beneath the Southern State Parkway is required and a connection to the Suffolk County Sewer
District No. 3 will be required.
Town of Hempstead:
The Lighthouse at Long Island, Uniondale, $3,000,000,000
The Lighthouse at Long Island is a master plan to develop 150 acres of land around the Nassau Veterans
Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale. The site will become a LEED-certified mixed-use center that includes a variety
of housing types, retail, restaurants, class A office space, and open space, all centered around a new Sports
Complex. With RexCorp Realty taking the lead, the Lighthouse has been through over 150 public workshops and
has created a community-inspired plan. The project is expected to produce 50,000 construction-related jobs over
the 8-10 year construction period and 20,000 permanent jobs for Long Islanders. Slated to cost $3 billion, annual
returns in tax revenues are expected to be set at $70 million. The economic benefits of this regional center are
undeniable.
Aside from the many commendable components of the project that promote Smart Growth principles, the
Lighthouse will also coordinate mass transit and access to the area. The Lighthouse Development Group has
undertaken traffic studies to ensure that the community is not negatively impacted by the increased traffic that the
center will draw. The traffic recommendations include a road widening of the Meadowbrook State Parkway and
improving access routes from the Meadowbrook to the site. The Lighthouse is also taking steps to coordinate
mass transit service in the area. A special Lighthouse Trolley will connect the site with key locations in
surrounding communities.
Select Lighthouse Project Components:

Open Public Space and Parks, $102,000,000

eliminate potential weaving conflicts with traffic on the northbound exit.
Bay Park Sewage Treatment Plant, Town of Hempstead, $300,000,000

At the Bay Park sewage treatment plant in East Rockaway, the smell of sewage fills the air. Outflow from the
plant flows into Hempstead Bay, seeping pollutants into a body of water that residents also use for recreation.
Beaches even had to be closed certain days in the summer due to high toxicity levels. As residents complain of a
constant odor, environmental hazards, and a crippling plant facility that hasn't had anything more than routine
maintenance done in the past 20 years, plans have been underway to consolidate the plant with other smaller
sewer plants along the South Shore, including Cedarhurst, Lawrence, and Glen Cove. The plans, passed in
January 2008 by the Nassau County Legislature, will entail building additional pipes to transport at least 2
million gallons of sewage a day to the Bay Park plant. As it stands, Bay Park serves about half of Nassau
County's sewage needs with 56 million gallons of sewage treated daily (its full capacity is up to 70 million gallons
per day). After the plans passed, residents publicly protested the consolidation. Town of Hempstead Councilman
Tony Santino said “Bay Park shouldn’t be the toilet bowl for the entire South Shore.” However, the consolidation
will mean that the plant is large enough to receive federal funds, which means outflow can be pushed further out
of the Bay and into the ocean. County Executive Tom Suozzi is hoping for a piece of the federal stimulus package
to fund this project. The project is being held up pending funding issues and some community resistance. Some
specific cost estimates include $18,932,431 for a force main, pump station (diversion from Lawrence and
Cedarhurst plants); $2,841,000 for treatment plant improvements including chemical bulk storage; and
$25,100,000 for treatment plant modification including aeration tank covers.
Cedar Creek Sewage Treatment Plant, Town of Hempstead

The Cedar Creek Sewage Treatment Plant in Wantagh has a shady recent history of dangerous spills and
equipment malfunctions. In Spring 2008, local residents in Wantagh and Seaford began complaining of a foul
odor coming from the plant. A large spill in November 2008 released 51,000 gallons of raw sewage into a section
of East Hempstead Bay that is a popular spot for shellfishing (the area was closed for some time). According to
an anonymous plant employee quoted in Newsday, the spill was caused by a malfunction in brand new equipment.
A new building had been equipped with $35 million in upgrades, including new pressers that would produce
lighter sludge. The plant is still considered Nassau's "new" plant, though aging infrastructure means the
understaffed plant must spend time fixing problems and not conducting routine or preventative maintenance. The
plant processes about 58 million gallons of sewage each day, with a total capacity of 72 million gallons per day.
Unlike Nassau County's other major treatment facility, Bay Park, the Cedar Creek plant discharges its waste
about 2 miles offshore into the ocean. In August 2008, Nassau County developed an open space bond act of $150
million that would designate $50 million to upgrade the two County sewer plants. However, due to shady politics
and community opposition to new taxes, it was never passed. In December 2008, Tom Suozzi asked for $13
million in federal stimulus money to upgrade both the Bay Park and Cedar Creek sewer plants, arguing that they
would be green projects and would create jobs. Proper renovations of both sewer treatment plants are estimated
to be several hundred million dollars. Underlying these renovations is Suozzi's hope that all the independent
sewer districts in the County can consolidate into one large County-owned sewer district. The Town of Port
Washington and some of its Villages recently shot down a proposal to consolidate with Cedar Creek, as building
the new pipes and infrastructure would cost $65 million and would heavily impact tax payers. Some specific cost
estimates for the Cedar Creek project include treatment plant improvements, including chemical bulk storage
upgrade for $3,258,000; and treatment plant modification including sludge dewatering facility for $38,925,000.

opportunities while improving views of the Huntington Harbor waterfront. The Town received a New York State
Clean Air/Clean Water grant for $1.8 million, which it must match. The Town plans to go forward with the
project, which will restore habitat and create passive recreational opportunities in Mill Dam Park. The park is
adjacent to Route 110 and also located between the downtown and the harbor. Conceptual design has been
completed and engineering design can be completed in 2009 and construction started in early 2010. If an
additional $1 million were added to the project, all the features originally recommended could be incorporated to
maximize water quality improvements, minimize flooding, and develop all recreational opportunities. Total
project cost is $4,900,000.
NY Route 110 Drainage and Roadway Improvement, Town of Huntington, $15,400,000
This NYSDOT project has been designed and is ready for construction. This stormwater project will alleviate the
flooding the plagues this area and prevents the kind of development that could add residential and commercial or
mixed use along the 1-plus mile stretch between the thriving downtown and the busy waterfront. The project will
include two much-needed roundabouts to replace the dangerous and congested intersections by the harbor. It will
add wide sidewalks and lighting to encourage walking and improve safety and a bike lane. The project currently
is receiving State DOT funding but needs more to move forward.
Town of Islip:
Islip Town Multi-Purpose Recycling Facility, Town of Islip, $2,145,000

CITIES & VILLAGES

City of Glen Cove:
Glen Cove Ferry Terminal and Boat Basin, Village of Glen Cove, $9,672,897
The Glen Cove Ferry Terminal and Boat Basin is a federally funded project administered under the New York
State Department of Transportation that converts a former federal superfund site into a commuter ferry boat
service to Manhattan. The creative endeavor was designed by the firm Urbitran (now AECOM) and meets
Leadership in Energy Efficiency Design (LEED) standards for sustainability. The fast and efficient ferry service
will run on clean diesel and compressed natural gas technologies, with travel time to all proposed locations well
under an hour (about 30 minutes in some cases). The project also hopes to provide access to other commuter and
recreational locations, including LaGuardia Airport, Shea Stadium/CitiField, Yankee Stadium, lower Manhattan,
and even Stamford, Connecticut. The project began construction in summer 2008, and service is expected to begin
in the partially-completed facility in Fall of 2009. After service begins, construction will continue along the Glen
Cove waterfront with a ferry terminal building, marine and waterside improvements, public access, pedestrian
spaces, and a parking facility. This project is happening alongside the Glen Isle project, which will transform the
Glen Cove waterfront brownfields into a vibrant mixed-use community. By the time the Glen Cove Ferry Terminal
construction is completed--now slated for 2012--Glen Cove will look very different as a waterfront development
that utilizes Smart Growth principles. The ferry project will improve quality of life for residents and help draw in
new tourism.

women’s locker rooms, and fitness classes. Due to its advanced age and constant year-round use, the center
needs extensive rehabilitation or reconstruction to continue serving residents’ needs. Expansion would allow the
center to provide more programs and activities.
Dredging Management Program/Canals, City of Long Beach, $1,000,000
The Canals area of Long Beach is a densely populated residential area with scenic canals that are attractive to
boaters. It is also a site vulnerable to flooding during major storm events. A dredging management study and
program are recommended and in need of an outside source of funding support.
Village of Brookville:
File Organization, Village of Brookville
The Village requires a file organization for all Village offices, which will include scanning property documents,
including plans to reduce and streamline the over-crowded space.
Office & Maintenance Equipment Storage Solutions, Village of Brookville
The Village wants to reorganize and overhaul the storage facility to create well needed space for updated
equipment.
Village of Centre Island:

Natural Gas and Water Pipeline Extensions, Village of Centre Island
Centre Island is an isolated village surrounded by Long Island Sound and Oyster Bay. Its 200 homes are heated
with an estimated 400,000 gallons of fuel oil annually, and almost all domestic water is pumped from individual
deep wells. As a result, the Bayville Fire Company which serves the Village has no access to hydrants and must
rely on water pumped from swimming pools, the Bay, and a single water truck. There is also a natural gas
pipeline that serves Bayville and terminates only a few hundred feet short of Centre Island. Financial assistance
to extend both natural gas and water pipelines throughout Centre Island would provide significant benefits,
including a reduction in carbon footprint, lower consumer costs, less dependence on foreign oil, and safety
benefits.
Police Station Replacement, Village of Centre Island, $375,000-$500,000
Centre Island’s Police Station is over 25 years old and has been determined as beyond repair. It now sits on a
compromised concrete slab as has been identified as an environmental hazard to officers because of rot and
mildew. Deteriorated wiring throughout also presents a safety problem. The building is energy inefficient and
under-sized for today’s computerized functions. The Village is planning a replacement that would be raised on
pilings and built to withstand hurricane strength winds, while incorporating the latest green technologies to
minimize electricity and fuel use. The building size would increase from 610 square feet to 780. There would be
new storage space in an upper half-story. Costs range from $375,000 to $500,000 depending on how much green
technology is incorporated.
Village of East Rockaway:

Solar Powered Compressed Natural Gas refueling station, Village of East Rockaway, $612,500
The Village is planning to construct a 40 KW solar photovoltaic system on the roof of its Department of Public
Works Central Truck Garage, along with a high volume fast fill compressed natural gas (CNG) refueling station.
The 40 KV of electrical power generated will be utilized to operate the compressors that fill the CNG storage
tanks. The CNG from the storage tanks is then transferred at high pressure into the fuel tanks of the Village’s fleet
of CNG powered vehicles. This plan provides significant environmental advantages, creates real opportunities for
expanding the number of clean CNG vehicles in Long Island, and promotes the use of sustainable and renewable
resources.
Drainage System Improvements and Road Reconstruction, Village of East Rockaway, $1,350,000
As a coastal community, the Village of East Rockaway has an old and in some cases nonexistent storm water
drainage system. There are sections of roadways that flood and become impassable several times each year
during coastal storms. During severe storms the flooding impacts surrounding homes, causing damage to
property and contents. The Village has planned an extensive drainage system and road reconstruction project,
which will completely replace the storm water drainage system including collection basins, piping, and outfalls,
and will add backflow prevention valves and chambers to prevent tidal flooding. The existing roadways will be
excavated and removed. The new roadways will be realigned and elevated where necessary to effectively direct
the storm water into the system and prevent flooding of adjoining properties. This project will directly affect
approximately twenty five hundred (2,500) feet of roadway and over one hundred and fifty (150) homes.
1
The Rehabilitation, Greening, and Modernization of Village Hall, Village of East Rockaway, $2,650,000
The East Rockaway Village Hall was constructed in 1957 and has only received minor upgrades since then. The
Village is planning a major rehabilitation project to maximize energy efficiency, provide for handicapped
accessibility to the entire building, and provide for more efficient use of the operational space. The plan will
upgrade the mechanical systems to obtain LEED certification, including adding 10 KW of solar photovoltaic
panels. It will replace the antiquated heating system and lighting system, and will add insulation to the walls and
roof. Another goal is to provide full access for the physically challenged to all areas of the building by installing
an elevator. As part of this project all environmentally hazardous materials such as asbestos containing pipe
insulation and floor tiles, lead based painted surfaces and other suspected materials will be tested, removed and
abated. A complete interior renovation of the building will include new handicapped accessible rest rooms, new
service office layout, new public use and meeting rooms, a new emergency operations center and new Court
Facilities.
Solar Voltaic System at the East Rockaway Public Library, Village of East Rockaway, $50,000
The Village would like to install a 10 KW solar voltaic system at the East Rockaway Public Library. The library is
currently undergoing a major exterior renovation to increase the insulation quality of the building, and the next
phase of the project will install solar panels to augment the power supply to the building. The goal is to reduce
the daytime reliance on purchased utility power by 40% or more by installing a solar photovoltaic system.
Village of Great Neck:

Long Island Sound Wastewater Infrastructure Improvements, Village of Great Neck, $68,000,000
Road Reconstruction, Village of Great Neck, $1,800,000

Road and curb repairs are necessary for an estimated 2 miles of road.
Manhole Repairs, Village of Lake Success, $1,200,000
Solar Power for Community Building, Village of Lake Success, $500,000
Village of Laurel Hollow:

Water Quality and Road Improvements, $725,928
Moore’s Hill Road is a heavily traveled road that is in need of repairs caused by runoff. It does not have a
drainage system, and the road is not curbed to contain or convey runoff. Although the Village has strictly
enforced the new Phase II Stormwater rules that require construction phase erosion control and post-
construction stormwater management, the problem persists. The water runs into Cold Spring Harbor, which the
DEC has classified as containing several pollutants. The Village’s plans specify the rehabilitation of the road,
including repairing the road base, replacing the broken road surface, establishment of a standard crown in the
road, adding curbing, and constructing catch basins and dry wells to collect stormwater and recharge the runoff
to the groundwater.

Village of Northport:
Sewer Improvements, Village of Northport, $7,000,000
The Village of Northport treats sewage from approximately 15% of the village as well as from Centerport in a
facility that is rated for 450,000 gallons per day. The Village hopes to replace two sewer mains on Woodbine
Avenue and a sewage pump station on Beach Street. This infrastructure dates back over 70 years to the Works
Progress Administration of the Great Depression. The Village has embarked on a sewer rehabilitation program
and is currently preparing a 5-year plan to remove extraneous flows from the aged sewer system, thus creating
capacity in the wastewater treatment plant. Capacity created would be used to promote affordable housing and
other economic incentives in the Main Street areas. The cost for this project was previously estimated at $3
million, but that limit may not allow for the use of current technologies.
Road Improvements, Village of Northport, $15,000,000
Northport has identified several necessary road improvements that are ready to move forward immediately. Some
of Northport's roads are asphalt and require an overlay, and others are crumbling and also date back to the
Great Depression era. According to Village Trustee Henry Tobin as quoted in The Observer, "Right now, we
know which roads are the worst and have to be done right away and we know which ones will become bad
shortly." Northport Village officials are confident that these investments will create jobs and help the local
economy grow.
1
Village of Patchogue:
Replacement of Gasoline and Diesel Fuel Tanks, Village of Patchogue, $300,000
The Village of Patchogue has been notified by the Suffolk County Department of Health that its two fuel tanks,
currently installed underground at its Department of Public Works facility, are not compliant with County
regulations. The tanks are 4,000 gallon double walled tanks. Suffolk County will require all fuel tanks in the
County to be triple walled by 2010 to protect the Long Island aquifer. The Village must remove the old tanks and
install new tanks prior to 2010 or be subject to fines. The tanks are used to hold diesel and gasoline used to fuel
equipment used by the Department of Public Works, the Parks Department, Patchogue Village Code
Enforcement, and, through “Shared Services Agreements,” the Patchogue Fire Department, Patchogue
Ambulance Company, Patchogue-Medford School District and the Town of Brookhaven. The new tanks will hold
6,000 gallons, increasing the capacity by 2,000 gallons. The “Shared Services Agreements” translate into a
reduction and stabilization of Village, School, Emergency Services and Town taxes; the larger tanks lower the
cost of the fuel because of the increased volume; and the triple layered tanks protect the environment. The Village
is asking for funding for 2010 because the cost of replacement gets more expensive each year. Furthermore, if it
is not done by 2010, the Village will end up on a waiting list and most likely will not be able to have the work
done by 2011 and fines will be incurred.
Estimated jobs created: 10
Waste Water Treatment Plant, Village of Patchogue, $8,200,000
The Village of Patchogue’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was last upgraded in 1987. The process
equipment used to provide biological treatment has passed its useful life and is in jeopardy of failure. It requires
replacement now. The plant is the lynchpin of the continued growth and economic development of the Village. In
2005 the Village Board commissioned a Feasibility Study for expansion of the WWTP and the sewer district in
order to assess the possibility of higher density development. The Village has been able to approve several high-
density condominium unit developments to be built with a connection to the sewer. These developments are
important as they bring homeowners into the Village who can support Main Street businesses. It is because of its
sewers Patchogue is able to serve both its residents and the Long Island community. Environmentally, the
Patchogue Sewer District is also an important piece in assuring preservation of the Long Island South Shore
Estuary. The Village wants to expand the capacity of the plant from 500,000 gallons per day to 1,200,000 gpd,
and to also improve on the treatment capability by including better screening for solids removal, improved
effluent disinfection with ultraviolet disinfection, and thickening of waste sludge for improved disposal methods.
The NYSDEC has determined that the facility could easily maintain its current levels of secondary treatment. The
Village Board feels that secondary wastewater treatment is no longer a compatible treatment process for surface
water discharge to a recreational waterway With the continued development interests and an increase in demand
for waterway recreation areas, it is prudent for the Village to look at reconstruction and expansion of their
sanitary sewage treatment system. The Village has taken a proactive stance and authorized the design of a
tertiary treatment facility, one that removes nitrogen. Nitrogen is a nutrient that promotes algae growth which
could harm the ecosystem of the estuary. Total project cost is $10 million.
New Sewers, Patchogue Village/East Patchogue, $15,000,000
The secondary treatment plant in Patchogue discharges to the Patchogue River which flows to the Great South
Bay. The Village’s sanitary system predominately serves the commercial area along Main Street, but has
expanded its service area using more cost effective low pressure sewers to include residential properties and
developments. The service area expansion is being used to revitalize the downtown area by increasing foot traffic,
eliminate cesspool overflows from existing homes, and to provide workforce housing projects. Several Main
Street revitalization projects will benefit from sewers. The “Four Corners” project is now in the planning stages
and could not have been undertaken if the Village did not have a sewer system. Several other sewer projects are
being considered in this study area
Village of Plandome Heights:

Project Preserve Bay, Village of Plandome Heights, $300,000
Project Preserve Bay began several years ago, but has been continually shelved due to insufficient resources. The
project must update and enhance the underground water distribution system and increase the number of overflow
storm catch basins from their current levels. It must also resurface the roads which will be affected by the
drainage implementation. It must re-contour and resurface two roads which border a natural preserve,
eliminating the water aggregation that currently exists, and install curbs to safeguard pedestrians from complete
exposure to oncoming traffic. Project engineers have confirmed that the project will be in compliance with ADA
requirements, include a contaminant collection system, benefit the Manhasset Bay Ecosystem, and improve area
residents’ quality of life. The project will necessitate approximately 2500-3000 man-hours to complete.

Village of Plandome Manor:

Grist Mill Road Bridge Demolition and Reconstruction, Village of Plandome Manor, $40,000
This project will cost the Village $40,000, but the total project cost is $400,000.

Culvert, Sidewalk, and Road Repair, Village of Plandome Manor, $38,500
Repairs are needed on North Plandome Road and Manhasset Bay.
Replacement of Catch Basins, Village of Plandome Manor, $570,000
Replacement of all 62 catch basins is needed.
1
Triangle Intersection Reconstruction, Village of Plandome Manor, $150,000
Reconstruction is needed at the intersection of North Plandome Road, Plandome Road, and Stonytown Road.

Repairs to Guardrail on North Plandome Road, Village of Plandome Manor, $6,000
Crosswalk Repair at Bayview and North Plandome Road, Village of Plandome Manor, $6,000
Aspen Gate Catch Basins, Village of Plandome Manor, $35,000
Village of Port Jefferson:

Port Jefferson New Sewer Installation, Port Jefferson, $25,000,000
The Suffolk County Sewer District No. 1 Wastewater Treatment Facility has recently been rebuilt and expanded
and includes approximately 250,000 gallons per day of excess capacity. Once this capacity is available and
approved by regulators, facilities within and nearby the Village of Port Jefferson can be considered for
connection. Some areas around here now have onsite systems that are old and discharge to groundwater that
eventually leads to Port Jefferson Harbor’s underflow. The new systems would require gravity lines going to the
main pumping station in downtown Port Jefferson which would be upgraded to discharge to the plant.
Village of Port Washington North:

Baywalk Waterfront Park, $500,000
This waterfront revitalization project will stimulate tourism and economic growth for the Village of Port
Washington North. The project costs $4 million and is short $500,000.
Village of Roslyn Estates:

Road Repairs, $750,000
The Village is in desperate need of several road repairs. Specific problems, all reported by residents and
confirmed by the Village, include lack of curbs or gutters, road edge deterioration, broken up gutters, peeling
roads, broken asphalt, and flooding on residential properties. The repairs are expected to cost upwards of
$750,000, and with an annual Village budget of $1.3 million they have been delayed. To do the work as is, the
Village will have to bond the project and raise taxes. Obtaining any federal stimulus funds will assist the Village
immensely.
1
Village of Sag Harbor:

Sag Harbor Sewer Rehabilitation and I/I Reduction, Sag Harbor, $3,000,000
The Village of Sag Harbor’s sewer system is relatively small and includes the Main Street business area of 88
locations and 139 residential lots. The 250,000 gallon per day plant has an excess capacity with little room for
expansion, which would have a deleterious effect on the surrounding area. The old sewer system is currently
being rehabilitated to reduce extraneous flows and create capacity. A significant amount of new construction of
large commercial buildings in the district may eliminate the excess capacity in the future.
Village of Valley Stream:

Culvert Replacement, Village of Valley Stream, $2,500,000
The Village has a culvert under a main roadway, in direct proximity to the Long Island Rail Road Station, that is
in desperate need of replacement. Since there are several main utility supply lines under this roadway, this
project is extremely imperative for public health and safety.
1
Parking Expansion, Village of Valley Stream, $500,000
Insufficient commuter parking necessitates the Village of Valley Stream to construct an additional parking field
on land the Village currently owns. This field will have parking for 120 vehicles and will service the railroad as
well as numerous businesses in the area.
Roadway Reconstruction, Village of Valley Stream, $2,800,000
A number of roadways are in serious need of reconstruction in Valley Stream. These roads not only service
residential areas, but commercial areas as well.
1
Village of Westbury
Westbury Movie Theater, Village of Westbury, $8,500,000
The Westbury Movie Theater was built in 1927, and has long been a vacant, blighted eyesore in a key downtown.
Westbury condemned the property for public safety in 2000. After years of litigation, bankruptcy, repair, and
building application review, parties will finally declare that redevelopment for this vacant property is "shovel
ready." The community is excited because it has a chance to reopen what was abandoned as a loss for the last
twenty years. Rebuilding will produce a mixed-use dinner-theater\family entertainment center. Plans are for a
performing arts center with casual dining and movies, live off-Broadway shows, big-screen events, comedy acts,
etc. Two smaller theaters will be built on the upper level with retractable screens that, at times, will feature
independent, foreign and older films, and children's shows or parties. In addition, the owner has agreed to allow
the local school district to use theater space for scholastic purposes during off hours. The building will also have
a restaurant, a retail store and four artist's residential\studio lofts on the upper floor: a true downtown appeal.
The site will also include a new parking lot. Nevertheless, without proper funding, the community risks further
delay or the owner being forced to reduce the scope of this project, perhaps even resulting in failure. Conversely,
with stimulus aid, this depressed community could revive its treasure and receive a significant economic boost.
REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION
East Side Access, $6,300,000,000+
An incredibly ambitious undertaking, the Long Island Rail Road's East Side Access project will build new tunnels
and infrastructure to connect LIRR riders directly to Grand Central Terminal and the east side of Manhattan.
Over 3/4 of Manhattan commuters from Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties currently take the LIRR to work.
With increasing ridership trends, the MTA's proposed service cuts in its next budget, and worsening congestion
and infrastructure problems, the current conditions are in need of a makeover. The completion of East Side
Access means that about half of Long Island commuters will cut their travel to work time enormously--some by up
to 40 minutes--and Manhattan arrivals by LIRR could increase by 41 percent. By making the ride to Manhattan
faster and by pushing the commuting shed further east on Long Island, East Side Access will promote job growth
throughout the region and help jump-start the economy. East Side Access is a much-needed regional
project: Penn Station will be relieved of congestion that is currently testing full capacity. LIRR trains will no
longer be standing-room-only during rush hour. Many more commuters will be able to walk from Grand Central
to work thus reducing bus and subway congestion. Along with the Third Track project, the economic,
environmental, and social benefits to the entire region are incredible. The project is set to cost $6.3 billion and
there is hope for completion by 2014. An additional project to expand underground capacity (including new
platforms and a new concourse) in Grand Central Terminal is slated at $7.2 billion with a completion date set for
2015.
Third Track, $1,500,000,000

The Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) has plans in the works to build a third track along its main branch between
Floral Park and Hicksville. The track would serve as a passing lane for new express trains during rush hour,
primarily serving the reverse commuter population. With soaring ridership in 2008, the LIRR places great
urgency on getting construction underway. The plan is linked to East Side Access, a huge endeavor which will
connect the LIRR to Grand Central Station, cutting commuting time extraordinarily. Third Track, officially named
the Mail Line Corridor (MLC) project, is estimated to cost $1.5 billion.
The Third Track project has been surrounded by controversy and opposition for years, mostly caused by the
immediate concerns of local residents regarding noise pollution and the potential closing of homes and
businesses to make space for the track. The construction would necessitate closing 85-90 properties and 2-7
houses. What is often left out of the public discussion is the bigger picture of what the third track means for Long
Island. By making the train ride from New York City to Long Island convenient and fast, and by enhancing inter-
island travel, the Island's economy will have enormous growth potential. This is a long-term investment: the
construction costs of this project are well worth the benefits that will come in the future.
Unfortunately, budgetary constraints on the MTA are dire and have caused the project to be delayed. The LIRR is
committed to the project and insists that it is still on the table. A draft environmental impact statement was
recently submitted. Many groups place the project high on a list of potential investments for a federal stimulus.
