Before moving ahead with its plan to require beachgoers to use a smartphone app to pay for daily parking at village beaches, the East Hampton Village Board has eliminated the Main Beach office staff that managed parking payments and performed other administrative duties.
An East Hampton Village parking enforcement vehicle outfitted with cameras, lasers, and other license plate-reading technology, which Mayor Jerry Larsen described to the village board as a "monster car" and "something from a sci-fi movie," will be replaced by one with more aesthetically pleasing equipment, the board decided in a special meeting on Tuesday.
More than 250 people from communities of color received Covid-19 vaccinations at a pop-up clinic in East Hampton organized by the Organizacion Latino-Americana of Eastern Long Island, part of a state effort to make sure minority communities receive access to the vaccine.
Community efforts are underway to lobby State Department of Transportation officials for more safety improvements to Route 114. Among the requests is a turning lane for vehicles entering the Ross School.
