Talk Back: Would You Support Meter Parking in Sayville's Downtown?

Some downtown areas feature meter parking. Is this something Islip Town or Sayville should consider?

Parking can be tough in Sayville, especially weeknights around dinner and weekends. It's rare to find a spot on the northside of Main Street most days after 11 a.m. Metered parking could help the situation by making long-term parkers retreat to parking lots behind the storefronts. Several business areas, notably Babylon Village, has long used metered parking to help shoppers access retail stores and to keep parking available to shoppers.

There is no proposal before any entity on putting metered parking in Sayville, but Patch was curious what residents, shoppers and store owners would think of the option.

And so the taxpayer is once again asked to give more to an already out of control and bloatedRead More system. Every year the school districts on Long Island receive increases of millions of dollars to their budgets, and still they want to bleed the taxpayer for more. As two income families struggle to pay exorbitant tax bills, we’re asked to pay even more? We’ll here’s a novel idea, how about if the teachers union’s began demanding less? This early retirement baloney must stop, salaries should be capped, administrators and their staffs must be cut by at least eighty percent. In addition, educators and staff should have to pay for their own medical and retirement plans just as the rest of us must. Here on Long Island, families are suffering and sacrificing, and many are being forced to leave due to taxes which are out of control. It is time for educators to cease hiding behind children with threats of decreased student programs, and to make an honest and realistic observation as to why things are as bad as they are. To blame parents for not paying enough into the system to support the schools is ludicrous. The real problem lies in a system which is self serving, and run by incompetents blind to the harm they are inflicting upon our children and families.
