Proposed Improvements
This project aims to provide suitable facilities for pedestrians to safely traverse Noyack Road outside of the vehicle roadway and to create a safe walkable link from Trout Pond Park easterly to Sag Harbor Village. Improvements include constructing various pedestrian safety enhancements along Noyack Road from Mill Road to Cove Avenue. Improvements are proposed to include contiguous 5' wide sidewalks, ADA compliant sidewalk ramps at all intersecting roadways, marked pedestrian crossings at Cromer's Market and Stony Hollow Road including flashing beacons and advance crossing signage as appropriate. Additional improvements such as roadway curbs and drainage, installing driver feedback devices to alert drivers of excessive speed, and realigning the roadway at curves with adverse sight distances will be provided. Alternatives including constructing a roundabout at Long Beach Road and reconfiguring the intersection of Stony Hill Road are being considered.
Project Background
Noyack Road has become a popular alternative route for passenger vehicles, trucks, and buses due to severe congestion on Montauk Highway. There are currently no stop signs or traffic signals on Noyack Road, only on the intersecting roads. Vehicle speeds exceed the posted speed limit, many horizontal and vertical sight distances are limited, and Noyack Road in most areas does not have accommodations for pedestrians to traverse the roadway without walking within or immediately adjacent to the vehicular travel lanes. There are approximately 80 roadway intersections and 12-15 community/business sites with curb cuts along the length of the proposed improvements. All of the above conditions make the current road perilous to pedestrians.
