Last year, the state Department of Transportation sought to replace the longtime wire-apparatus signal system with a new cantilevered, mast-arm one on the corner of Hemlock Lane and Route 25. Village officials and local historians objected, arguing the proposed system was too large and out of character for the historic district.

Repairs to Mill Creek Road in Head of the Harbor — the only entrance point for a seven-home neighborhood — are expected to be finished this month, village and nonprofit officials said, after the road was badly damaged by an August storm. That puts restoration of the road well ahead of efforts in Stony Brook to repair Harbor Road, which, along with a pond, dam and bridge,was destroyed by the same storm.

Smithtown is withdrawing proposed amendments to the town code that would have added rules on rail freight terminals and transfer stations had a controversial Kings Park waste management project gone forward. The town board voted 5-0 at their regular meeting Tuesday at Town Hall to withdraw two proposed amendments to the town code.
