ISSUES WITH NYSDOT’S EXIT 59A PROPOSAL Barnes Road is a Town of Brookhaven highway The expected traffic that would be added to this roadway would overload thiscurrently lightly-used road. Flooding occurs during rain events on the roadway from its southern terminus atMontauk Highway to Sunrise Service Rd. S. due to erratic varying elevation. This evacuation route could be compromised if flooding occurs before or during astorm’s arrival. The clearance of the Sunrise Highway bridge above Barnes Road is 13 feet,4 inches. This prohibits taller vehicles to pass underneath the roadway.

ELEVATION PROFILE OF BARNES ROADDue to varying elevation throughout the roadway, flooding occurs during heavy rainfall

ISSUES WITH CURRENT EXIT 59 The interchange with Sunrise Highway (NY-27) & Wading River Road has moreissues than at Barnes Road: The intersection with Sunrise South Service Road (the EB Exit 59 ramp) andJerusalem Hollow Road has issues including: Excess speed coming from vehicles on Sunrise Highway to Wading River Road with driverscoming from the opposite direction and Jerusalem Hollow Road (including constant schoolbus traffic). Elevation from the beginning of the EB Exit 59 ramp drops to Jerusalem Hollow Roaddrastically, decreasing driver visibility and safety. Increased building along both sides of Sunrise Highway has limited access to andfrom Sunrise Highway. In case of emergency from Eastport South Manor Jr./Sr. High School, William FloydMiddle School, and Center Moriches High School, access to/from Sunrise Highway iscurrently limited.

ESM’S NEW REVISION OF NYSDOT’S EXIT 59A PROPOSAL Exit 59A: All proposed ramps with this interchange would be eliminated. Exit 59 changes: A new EB exit ramp & WB entrance ramp west of Moriches-Middle Island Rd. will replace the existing onesfor Wading River Road. The exit speed advisory would be posted for 35 MPH. This eliminates the dangerous turn for all at the end of the EB NY-27 Exit 59 ramp at Jerusalem Hollow Road. Aids emergency response time to Eastport South Manor High School, William Floyd Middle School, & CenterMoriches High School if needed. Both service roads along Sunrise Highway would be extended west from Wading River Road to MorichesMiddle Island Road. Both roadways would be bi-directional, aiding school and new development traffic. Helps traffic flow from Wading River Road to Moriches-Middle Island Road. Traffic lights would be needed with both Sunrise Service Roads & Moriches-Middle Island Rd. The EB entrance ramp and the WB exit ramp would remain the same.
