That’s nothing new for them.
They’re really foolish with the installation of poles and bungalows.
They install them too close to the existing main while smack dam in the middle of the location where a former siding or a double main can be installed if that route is warranted in the future.
Doing is this way ultimately ensure the project to add a siding or additional main would cost 10x what is otherwise should if they placed the poles in the proper location.
Additionally the powers that be are still stuck in the fantasy of 1970s era commutation.
Though that is the bread and butter the dynamic has greatly shifted.
The numbers show that with increased speed, dependable, properly timed services between Ronkonkoma and Riverhead that the ridership will increase.
The LIE is a death trap. The train is safest and fastest way. The community needs to rally for a rail oriented development not to replace the car all together but to reduce the demand placed on its use.
No one is taking your car away.
