 For example, developers of the Billy Blake Department Store shopping center in Port Jefferson Station between Old Town Road and Arrowhead Lane built a service road to access that retail outlet.The Hess gas station and McDonald's restaurant in Stony Brook were built several hundred feet away from the roadway.By the late 1980s, however, the town of Brookhaven allowed development along the artery if the developer received a letter from the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) indicating that such development would not interfere with any transportation improvements contemplated for completion within the next five years.
