• Central Islip Calls for Growth Plan, 'Fair Share' of State Funds (lilifepolitics.com) — Central Islip residents are pressing the Town of Islip and New York State for overpasses, road repairs, and a comprehensive growth plan to match the hamlet's rapid housing and downtown revitalization. Community leaders say frequent LIRR crossings snarl traffic, delay fire and ambulance responses, and worsen already-poor state roads like NY-111 and the Southern State, while arguing Long Island isn't getting its fair share of transportation funds.
