A dozen Shelter Island residents have worked tirelessly with volunteer Project Manager Edward Hindin, Councilmen Mike Bebon and Albert Dickson and consultants Peter Flinker and Larissa Brown to create a new Comprehensive Plan. But they have not worked in a vacuum. They have opened the process to as many people as possible.
Have they heard from you?
More than 1,000 people responded to an early survey that helped spark thoughts about a new Comprehensive Plan, meant to become a guide for what full- and part-time residents and business operators would like their town to be in the future.
• Cultural activities
• Revitalization of Route 114 to eliminate what some called “an eyesore”
How all that can happen should be led by a professional town manager and/or town planner, others said. Many saw that as necessary to meeting future needs.
It wasn’t a swipe at current office holders, but a realization that the Town Board needs to set policy.
The government does a good job of handling essential services, but not in handling long-term planning, one resident said. There was also a call for digitizing town records to make them more accessible and convenient.
“I want a really mixed town to live in multi generational people sharing ideas and space,” one resident said. It was a concept expressed by people in the discussion groups that afforded everyone a chance to be heard with their individual visions of the town they hope will exist in 2030 and beyond.
