Bus Station/Supermarket

I have been going to PatchogueVillage for a number of years and have seen a great deal of positive change and exciting vibe going on.  The housing projects are looking great and give Patchogue Village the feel that one could live there comfortably without a car.  I feel that to make Patchogue Village the perfect place to live without a car it needs a major supermarket. and a major upgrade for the Bus Station to enable people to come and go to and from Patchogue by bus comfortably and safely.  The area of the bus station with the adjacent parking lot could be an ideal location.   The major supermarket, which has everything, is an essential benefit for the resdents of the housing in the Village of Patchogue so they wouldn't have to routinely take a bus to food shop.  Furthermore, the location of the Bus Station would enable those in the surrounding areas outside of the Village without a car to travel to and from the supermarket magnet, which is an institution that is essential to life, easily bringing commerce to the supermarket as well as the Patchogue Village shops and restaurants.  We have lived without a car for an extented period of time in other locations so we are speaking from experience in this regard .  The essential point here is to live comfortably without a car, if one is living or planning on living with a car this proposal has no merit.
