• Assemblywoman Kassay's Legislation to Preserve the Setauket-Port Jefferson Station Greenway Signed into Law (longisland.com) — State legislation just permanently protected the Setauket–Port Jefferson Station Greenway Trail, ensuring it stays a non-vehicular path while still allowing future LIRR electrification plans nearby. For Port Jefferson Station residents, this secures a beloved daily walking and biking route, safeguards neighborhood greenspace, and supports long-term transit improvements that could eventually bring cleaner, faster rail service to the area.
