• Montauk Highway lane changes frustrate Sayville residents (newsday.com) — Recent lane reductions and restorations on Montauk Highway in Sayville left drivers confused, delayed, and worried about safety, especially at neighborhood intersections. Suffolk County calls the changes a temporary traffic-calming pilot, but local leaders and residents say they weren't notified, question the approach, and are now pushing for clearer communication before any permanent changes are made.
