The Elimination of a Community

The Elimination of a Community 





For at least 10 years the Long Island Council and Transportation Committee has lobbied Government to put back our hourly ferry service that we had with the MV Island Joiner (for 30 years); Just until the Causeway would be put in place. We have taken cut after cut. Brian Warr AND Al Hawkins promised that our service would be improved when they campaigned for the last election. Now we are to take another elimination of highway service. Government is cutting off our ability to get to our resident's Doctor's appointments, specialists appointments, banking services, supermarket services, garage, pharmacy and every other service that has been become the norm for us on Long Island in the Green Bay South Region.

  2. Yes, that's correct Aiden. She leaves Long Island at 3:45 and then comes back from Pilley's Island at 4:00 PM. It's only a 5-minute crossing. You may then get off at 6 PM or 8:30 PM, if you're not staying for the night.

    2. Looking at the times here, she comes to LI from PI at 11 AM and remains there until 1 PM.
