The communities of Coram and Middle Island have been working to create a safe, diversified transportation system in central Brookhaven for over ten years. Our efforts to ensure that the communities which will be effected by road widening projects play an important role in the process, have been stymied by the DOTıs staff on Long Island.

The latest effort to exclude the communityıs participation involves a widening project in front of a National Historic Landmark, the Davis House. Although they are very aware of the communities past participation, and continued involvement on that stretch of Middle Country Road, the Long Island Region did not even notify the community of their planned project, in front of a designated National Historic site.

Unfortunately, this is business as usual for the DOT on Long Island. A change in the culture of the DOT is desperately needed. We would appreciate any help that you could provide to encourage DOT engineers to work with involved communities.

We are also unsure if the DOT has requested and gotten the proper permits for a planned widening in front of a Historic Site which is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places.

Thank you.
