Perk for the Jitney
People who leave their vehicles in the Amagansett municipal parking lot to ride the Hampton Jitney are incensed about Town Hall’s plan to eliminate or sharply reduce long-term use of the lot.

However, it is not entirely clear that reserving public parking spaces for users of a private, for-profit service is good policy.
