East Hampton Town Board puts parking behind Springs Library into capital plan; committee urges screening and lighting
Summary
The East Hampton Town Board has approved a concept to create a parking lot behind the Springs Library and placed it in the capital plan; the Springs Citizens Advisory Committee discussed design priorities such as screening from the road and safe lighting.
The East Hampton Town Board has approved a concept to create a parking lot on the property behind the Springs Library and has included the project in the town’s capital plan, committee members said during the Springs Citizens Advisory Committee meeting on March 17.
Members of the committee raised concerns about the visual and environmental impacts of a new lot and urged the town to add screening from the road and safe, low-glare lighting in design plans. The committee characterized those features as important to protect neighborhood character and pedestrian safety around the library.
No dollar amounts or firm design proposals were provided at the meeting; committee notes indicate the concept is now in the capital plan and will proceed through the town’s regular project development process. The committee did not record a formal vote on a specific design at this meeting.
The Springs Citizens Advisory Committee will continue to follow the project as it moves through town review and design stages; the town liaison and project staff will be asked for design details and timing in future meetings.
