Oyster Bay Town Councilman
Gregory W. Carman in formed
the Post this week that he has
gained assurances from Nassau
County that a traffic light will be
installed at Motor Avenue and
Kent Street in Farmingdale,
which is the main entrance to the
Ellsworth W. Allen Town Park.
" The County Director of
Traffic Engineering, Paul Streb,
has informed me that studies of
traffic at the location support my
contention that a signal is
definitely needed along Motor
Avenue," Carman reported,
" especially at the Kent Street
intersection which is the entrance
of Allen Park."
Carman noted that the traffic
signal will provide a more or­derly
flow of traffic along the
length or Motor Avenue while
affording traffic on other side
streets, that intersect with Motor
Avenue, gaps in traffic flow.
" I'm sure the many residents
in the area will be pleased to
learn of the County's intention to
proceed with the design and
installation of the signal as soon
as possible," Carman said. " I'm
also certain that once it is in­stalled,
parents will feel more at
ease when their children go to
Allen Park."
The need for a light at this in­tersection
was dramatised this
summer when a North
Massapequa youth, Mitchell
Sheinblum, was killed on his
bicycle while attempting to cross
Motor Ave. from Kent Street into
the park.
Residents of the area won their
battle last month to prevent the
owners from using James Street
and Clifton Street as access
routes to the landlocked property
for the construction of the indus­trial
park.
Last Thursday residents
threatened a sit- in at Babylon
Town Hall until they received
assurance the town board would
not approve an access road to the
unwanted industrial area.
The residents were assured by
Babylon Supervisor Aaron
Barnett and William Mallery,
chairman of the town's industrial
agency, th, at they would
" seriously review" its earlier
recommendation for the con­demnation
of two acres of the
Justine Lambert property to the
east to provide an access road
from Route 110.
Attorney for property owner
Seymour Yanowitz, Elihu Ber-man,
said that they regard it as
agreed that the town will go
through with the condemnation
proceedings of the Lambert
property for access. Mallery
reported hearing no word from
Mrs. Lambert's legal advisors on
the condemnation plan.
Dr. William Kinzler,
superintendent of schools, told
the Babylon board the industrial
area would affect the health,
welfare and safety of the students
of the nearby Mill Lane Jr. High
School.
Assemblyman Philip Healey
urged the board to reverse the
zoning of 12 years ago. Peter Sch-mitt,
a spokesman for
Congressman Angelo Roncatlo,
said the congressman wants to go
on record as opposing the park.
A petition containing 3,500
signatures opposing the park was
pieabotad.
