The CCA also has plans to further address local residents issues with truck traffic on Townline Road. The Town of Smithtown has prohibited truck travel on the road, but as its name indicates, half the roadway is in the Town of Huntington's jurisdiction. Civic association members have been circulating a petition in hopes of convincing Huntington supervisor Frank Petrone to do the same. 

Other topics on Thurday's agenda include the crisis function of the Commack Civic Association and a change in its bylaws.
