Ken from Me4PortJeff.com blog talks about what needs to be done to accommodate motorcycles in Port Jefferson.

Motorcylces have always been a part of the background in Port Jefferson and they have also been a point of contention. Lack of parking and what to do about it has been a problem in the village for years.

The two issues have collided in the past and the Port Jefferson Business Improvment District is trying to help. The BID in in an agreement with the Brookhaven to pick up the tab for out-of-town bikers who want to park its with expanded space for motorcycles.

Ken over at Me2PortJeff.com blog commented on the proposal in a blog post on July 6. He said that "it isn’t a simple plan" and problems with it include "bookeeping, payment and limited resources of the BID."
