Port Jefferson Street repairs/ Village Tax Hike?

I was reading an article in the Times Beacon Record, about the needed repairs of street's in Port Jeff. The cost would be about $18.5 million dollars(about double the village budget), and that's not all inclusive. A study was done and found 27% of the roadways needed repair, or about 37 miles of roads that received an average score of 5.6, that's somewhere between fair and fair to poor. There are a few roads mentioned in the article, Old Post Road, Bay view Rd, Beech St. and part of Main Street. A portion of Beech Street has to be repaved up to 12 times a year, which may have to do with a heavy truck presence. When these roads are fixed, they must be maintained properly as mentioned in the article by crack sealing, when cracks in the roads are left unmaintained they will grow and create a need for further repair. I hope the repairs do not create to much of a traffic problem, as getting around town this time of year can be quite a hassle as it is, a plan with the interests of the residents and tourists needs to be well thought out.
