Residents press Town on crosswalk lights, parking enforcement, EV signage and Uber-related trash
Summary
Several residents raised safety and nuisance concerns about motorists ignoring crosswalk flashers, Surf Lodge parking, EV charging signage at White’s Lot, and Uber drivers sleeping in cars and leaving garbage; David Lys said some issues require Town or state action.
During the question-and-answer period, residents raised multiple public-safety and nuisance concerns. One resident said motorists are ignoring nonstop flashing crosswalk lights, creating a hazard; the committee was told repairing the equipment would require Town capital action. Another resident said Uber drivers are sleeping in their cars and leaving garbage in Montauk; Lys said the Town will investigate.
Questions also covered cones on the shoulder outside Surf Lodge and nightly capacity checks by the East Hampton Fire Marshal, signage and sight-line obstructions at the Eagle exit onto Main Street, and Surf Lodge patrons using the train station parking lot (MTA-controlled). A resident asked that EV charging spots in White’s Lot be enforced as EV-only with clearer signage; Lys said current enforcement was "implied." Several residents requested a return presentation by EHPD on license-plate reader ticketing and enforcement.
