Mayor Pontieri: We need a new crosswalk in Patchogue!
I, along with the residents and visitors of Patchogue Village, request that a crosswalk be installed at the intersection of Lake Street and South Ocean Avenue for safe pedestrian crossings.
Why is this important?
Patchogue is a safe walking village, with crosswalks at all the proper locations. But ever since the new Tritec construction site went up, there is no longer a safe way to cross from the east side of South Ocean Avenue (Del Fiore's Deli) to the start of Lake Street (at Reese's Pub). My wife and I have tried this in the early evening with our baby in a stroller, and I literally had to stop traffic to let them cross safely.
