In the heart of the Inc. Village of Asharoken and the Town of Huntington within Eaton's Neck lies a vital structure—the 1,000-foot seawall along Asharoken Ave and Bevin Road. This seawall is not just a barrier against the forces of nature; it is the sole protector of the only road that connects us, the community of approximately 2,000 residents, to the outside world. For us, this road is more than transportation—it's a lifeline.

We are reaching out for urgent assistance because the very structure that safeguards our access has exceeded its life expectancy by 15 years. The seawall is in imminent danger of collapsing, threatening to cut off Eaton's Neck from the rest of Long Island and endangering not only our lives and well-being but also those of the U.S. Coast Guard who depend on this route.

Our lives, our health, and our safety hinge on the stability of Asharoken Ave. Without immediate intervention, an impending catastrophic event could sever our community entirely, leaving us vulnerable and isolated.

We implore New York State to take decisive action by providing discretionary funds necessary for the replacement of this critical infrastructure. This funding is not merely maintenance; it is a safeguard against disaster for 2,000 New York State citizens and crucial government personnel.

The need for action is urgent and undeniable. We call upon Governor Kathy Hochul, the New York State Legislature, and relevant state authorities to prioritize this project. It is essential to secure the well-being of our community and ensure continuous and safe access in and out of Eaton's Neck.

Join us in this plea to protect the lives and homes of thousands and prevent an avoidable catastrophe. Please sign this petition to urge New York State to provide the necessary funds to replace the Asharoken seawall. Your support can help ensure the safety and future of our community.
