Sarah Lansdale- Executive Director of Sustainable L.I.
Q: Do you see the LightHouse on L.I. as a positive development?
A: Definitely, the light house is such an interesting project because it has the potential to really create a new community and a new downtown for L.I. it, I think, has the potential to retain kinda LI’s youth, ah recent college graduates, things like that as well as be a huge economic engine for Long Island.
Q: Any major problems with Project Lighthouse?
A: I think there is still some more information that needs to come out and more studies regarding the lighthouse, for instance the um traffic and how to accommodate all those extra cars, that area is already congested, especially congested with the coliseum when there is concerts and sports or hockey games or things like that so there really needs to me more analysis done on traffic and how they are going to mitigate all of the traffic, the additional cars.
Q: What about reactions positive or negative from Long Islanders?
A: I’ve heard a lot of positive reactions to the project, I’ve also heard some negative ones especially for surrounding communities like Garden City residents are a little concerned about how this is going to impact their quality of life, but overall I’ve heard a really positive response from this project.
