OK, then imagine the reaction by the north shore and south shore constituency.Beyond Ronkonokoma to Riverhead is pine barrons, post-war, suburban sprawl, strip malls and sub-divisions spawned by the LIE. The poulation is more centeredon Highway 25, which is a separate set of towns than along the LIRR. OTOH, the Port Jeff and south Shore to Patchogue or Mastic are traditional and older dense villages, far easier to serve by public transit. You can probably make a better commercial case running some service to Wading River than electrifying to Riverhead. |
