Sponsor's memo
Title of bill
An act authorizing the villages of East Hampton and Sag Harbor to reduce the maximum speed limit along certain designated streets in such villages to not less than 20 miles per hour
Purpose or general idea of bill
To authorize Village of Sag Harbor and the Village of East Hampton in the County of Suffolk, to reduce the speed limits in certain cases.
Summary of specific provisions
Authorizes the Village of Sag Harbor and the Village of East Hampton to lower the speed limits to not less than 20 miles per hour on portions of specific highways.
Justification
The villages of East Hampton and Sag Harbor are extremely popular tourist attractions on Long Island's East End. The numerous small shops, restaurants and historic museums that are located throughout the villages are situated on narrow and congested roadways so driver and pedestrian safety is of the utmost importance. Traffic calming measures are not feasible options in these areas due to the landscaping configurations and desired community character. In these cases, the best way to achieve the safest streets possible for drivers, cyclists, and pedestrians in the villages of East Hampton and Sag Harbor is to lower the speed limit to 20 miles per hour. This legislation would apply to the following portions of highway in the Village of East Hampton: King Street, McGuirk Street, Middle Lane, Mill Hill Lane and Meadow Lane. In the Village of Sag Harbor the following portions of highway would apply: Main Street, Bay Street, Madison Street and Jermain Avenue.
