I live on a private road. Where can I find information to bring my private road into the Town Highway System?
The process is typically initiated by residents living along the particular road. The Engineering Division manages the process for bringing private roads into the town highway system through Town Law 200 (TL200). This work includes performing an engineering inspection and estimating the cost necessary to bring an existing private road up to Town standards so that it can be accepted into the Town Highway System. Each TL200 is subject to a public hearing to approve the project and the expenditure. Once the funding is approved and bonded, the Engineering Division coordinates surveying, design and construction by public bid, or a combination of public bid and annual contracts. The funds are usually recovered from residents along the road, through a property tax increase over a period of years. View the Town Law 200 procedures.

Please call the Engineering Division at 631-702-1750 if you need assistance.
