A Sign of What's to Come in Bayport?

Billboard touts mart-gas station that is arriving in various towns on Long Island.

This billboard campaign by QuickChek has more than a few Bayport and Blue Point residents a bit irritated given some emails Patch has received.

It's been mounted on one of the three billboard stations along Montauk Highway in Blue Point, east of Blue Point Avenue.

QuickChek is a NJ-NY convenience gas station mart that is proposing to build a mega location at the corner of Snedecor Avenue and Montauk Highway in Bayport. A recent public hearing before the Town of Islip Planning Board drew over a 100 residents in protest, citing traffic and safety issues.

Two Bayport gas station operators presented the board with a 1,003-signature protest petition and the Bayport Civic Association and the Bayport-Blue Point Chamber of Commerce went on official record as being against the project.

The billboard appeared before the public hearing was held, noted a resident who spoke out against the project at the hearing.
