Happy Friday, North Fork neighbors and friends! Top in the news today, the Greenport village board voted unanimously Thursday night to reject a plan that would have brought the parklets back for the 2022 season.

Over the past week, residents on both sides of the issue have offered impassioned pleas: Business owners implored the board to bring the parklets back, saying the outdoor dining solution was a veritable lifesaver during the pandemic. Other longtime residents said they had concerns about traffic, safety, parking — with some just wanting Greenport back to what it once was.

How do you feel about the decision? Please send your thoughts to Lisa.Finn@patch.com for a future article.

Also in the news, a Mattituck senior made his hometown proud, bringing home the state title in wrestling.

Until tomorrow. . . .
