Here are the top 4 stories in Port Jefferson today:

1. LIRR Train users pointed out the lack of seating at the Port Jefferson Train Station. During an interview with TBR News Media, a resident said that elderly or disabled passengers don't have a place to sit during rush hour while waiting for the train. A new bench was recently installed outside the ticketing area, but the community hopes that a better layout will be arranged in the future. (tbrnewsmedia)
