By cleanup, I don’t mean spending a day or two cleaning up trash that may have accumulated on the shoreline. I meant on a much broader scale, like improving the facilities at Teddy Roosevelt Park and putting something useful on West End Avenue. Why was all this money spent on this? New streets, sidewalks and parking lots for what? A new pier was built for a ship that lays dormant for most of the year save the Oyster Fest. How about building something that people might actually want to go to? A small restaurant with a nice outdoor space comes to mind. Wouldn't it be great to have a drink outside and watch the sunset while eating a plate of Oysters.

I think the village looks about the best I have seen it in the past 10 years. Nobmans, Goosberry Grove, Il Piato and Subway show that there are merchants in town that care about how their storefronts look. While I am sure there are exceptions with dirty windows and sidewalks I don’t feel that this is the norm. Do you think that the lack of parking keeps people away or is it lack of something attractive? The parking problem could be easily fixed but is there really a need for it? In my opinion there is very little in the village that would cause someone who lives close to town to want to come down and spend an evening walking around and forget about drawing people from neighboring towns. Lets look at some successful neighboring villages, Northport, Huntington, Cold Spring Harbor all have the draw. They have successfully integrated a combination of Restaurants, Retail stores, Night life and Entertainment and still have managed to preserve the integrity of their respective villages. The village of Oyster Bay needs more of what they have.

The bottom line is if outside investors want to come in and put money into something that brings people into the village, everyone will benefit. It is the trickle down affect. If families come in for the Carousel, they are more likely to go get an Ice Cream and Gooseberry, Bonanza or Carvel afterwards. Perhaps they even go to dinner at Canterbury's, Fiddleheads, Il Piato or Wild Honey. These are all very good restaurants that just need a little more recognition. All have them have the ability to bring people back time and time again. I think they just need a jumpstart. That one time where someone goes there because they are in town is all they need. Cleaner sidewalk and windows and improved parking will surely follow.]]>Michael2008-03-03T10:40:05Zhttp://obhamletblog.com/2007/02/02/request-for-proposal-town-of-ob-parks-department--for-a-carousel-in-trpark.aspx#comment-867206scott2008-03-02T15:46:06Zhttp://obhamletblog.com/2007/02/02/request-for-proposal-town-of-ob-parks-department--for-a-carousel-in-trpark.aspx#comment-853035Michael2008-02-25T12:05:24Zhttp://obhamletblog.com/2008/01/17/bayville-lobster-house-fire.aspx#comment-777401my 2 cents
