Note from the Brookhaven/South Haven Hamlet Study
Committee
Regarding the "Negative Features" listed above:
 | Item #3 – The committee believes that "The need
for more sidewalks and bikeways" is placed too high on this list and
is also redundant, since sidewalks are also mentioned in item #17.
|
| Item #14 – The committee feels that community
would like to see the dock policed, rather than improved.
