🌱 Rehabilitation Project Completed + Robbery Attempt

Hey, people of Port Jefferson! It's me again, Debora Whitehead, your host of the Port Jefferson Daily.

First, today's weather:

Partly sunny and cooler. High: 52, low: 42.

Here are the top stories in Port Jefferson today:

1. Rehabilitation Project at State Route 112 in Long Island Now Complete. Improvements to a 1.7-mile stretch of State Route 112 in Suffolk County, Long Island are now complete. The $32.7 million project spans from Medford to Coram and includes wider travel lanes, new turning lanes at key intersections, pull-off areas for buses, new drains for storm water runoff, and a landscaped median. Additional improvements include dedicated bike lanes in both directions, new sidewalks, curb ramps, reflective pavement markings, and crossing signals to enhance safety for pedestrians. (New York YIMBY)
2. Suspect Charged In Attempted Robbery In Wading River. A Coram man was arrested on charges of attempted robbery and petit larceny last night in Wading River. Riverhead Police said John M. Marchese, 30, entered the Speedway Gas store at 6305 Route 25A last night at about 8:15 p.m., demanded cash from an employee and then removed an item from the store without paying for it.

3. Tell Someone In Port Jefferson You’re Grateful For Them! Patch's "30 Days Of Gratitude" will run throughout November with stories about living with gratitude — in simple terms, a deliberate choice to see the goodness and joy in your life and to wish the same for your neighbors. We invite you to fill out the form below and write a letter of thanks to a person, group or thing that makes life where you live better. We'll publish your letter here on Patch as part of our "30 Days Of Gratitude" series. (Port Jefferson Patch)
4. A Musical Tribute! Under the direction of the Port Jefferson School District orchestra teacher Dr. Vanessa Salzman, a musical tribute took place in front of Earl L. Vandermeulen High School on the outdoor cafeteria patio.
