Today's riddle: What did one strawberry say to the other strawberry? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• 3 Injured In 6-Vehicle Crash On LIE In Dix Hills: Police (patch.com) — Drivers in the Huntington area faced major disruption Monday morning after a six-vehicle crash on the westbound Long Island Expressway near Exit 51 in Dix Hills sent three people to local hospitals with minor injuries. Suffolk County police are still investigating what caused the multi-car collision, which happened around 9:45 a.m. and affected a key commuter route through the town.
• MTA push for new housing at LIRR stations goes off the rails (libn.com) — Hundreds of new apartments and a large parking garage were proposed for MTA- and state-owned lots around Huntington Station, but the plan has stalled after pushback from Huntington officials who call it a top-down mandate. Draft studies show how many units and parking changes were envisioned, raising big questions for local residents about future density, commuting, and downtown revitalization near the LIRR.
• LIPA-Town Settlement Could Cost Taxpayers (huntingtonnow.com) — Huntington taxpayers could see higher bills this year after the Town Board approved an interim settlement with LIPA over underpaid taxes on about 130 utility properties. With Suffolk County refusing to cover the shortfall, local schools—especially Northport-East Northport—may need to shift more of LIPA's lost tax burden onto other property owners while a broader court fight continues.
