Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Town of Riverhead public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Two-hour parking enforcement behind Moonfish and Turkes
The new two-hour limits in Lots 5 and 6 are working — spots are available and businesses are happy. The town also issued a notice to cure to Heatherwood to restore eight spaces by September 18. But residents of the apartment building have complained about losing all-day parking.
Downtown parking during construction
Theater and hotel owners say downtown parking is already maxed out on show nights, and building the planned parking garage could cut spaces in half for a year — potentially shutting businesses down. They want the town to sequence construction to minimize disruption and consider interim solutions like shuttles.
Shared parking agreement for 505 Lincoln Street
A Lincoln Street applicant wants parking about 370 feet away, beyond the 200-foot limit and partly in a residence district. The board adjourned the case to June 11 so the applicant and a neighbor can try to settle their differences.
