Below you will find a conceptual rendering and a style board slide show that aim to depict how a revitalized Port Jefferson Station can appear. The below photos are examples of current and potential architectural looks of what can be created in the Port Jeff Station Rail Road Neighborhood. These examples were discussed with a community focus group over the last year keeping in mind the rich history of Port Jefferson Station and it’s commercial / manufacturing identity from the prior century.

Revitalize Port Jeff Station 
That is just beautiful. I would love to see this change happen!! I would be very happy driving through a new, beautiful clean Port Jefferson Station
I would definitely love for upper port jefferson to be completely changed. Everything should go with the exception of taras. Upper port jefferson is a complete dump right now. Sorry for the harsh words but for someone who has lived in the area my entire life, it’s so disappointing driving through upper port jefferson due to what it has become.
Port jefferson needs a facelift. Right now it is depressing driving through the village. It is rubn down with many vacant storefronts. I support the revitalization of port jefferson as a resident.
New Port Jeff Resident here – Its such a wonderful village but somewhat crowded in the “downtown” area. I think by expanding the historical feel to the “uptown” section, it could do great things for the community overall. Providing safe streets being a given, I would love to see maybe a trolley that brought people from the down port area to the uptown area, this would make it much more “walkable” and inviting for community members and visitors who come via the ferry etc.
The area is dominated by blight and bad zoning decisions currently.
First, no one wants to live, work, shop, etc near a faux highway. The width of Patchogue RD needs to be narrowed to one lane in each direction and a turning lane. Having two lanes in each direction just encourages drivers to speed through the community. Also, the lack of crosswalks near the train station is confusingly ill-designed.
Second, “dead streets” need to go. In order to have a lively and cozy street, businesses can’t be set back far from the road/sidewalks. A solution to this is to put parking lots behind businesses, instead of in front of them. Also, large parking lots (such as the one near TFCU) need to be reduced in size such that there can be development along the street.
Third, density and efficiency are very important for this area. Port Jefferson needs to take advantage of its location along the LIRR with dense residential development. I’m not calling for things that look like housing projects but developments that are three-four-five floors would benefit the community. It makes the most sense to place as much housing as possible as close to the train station, as it won’t put more burden on the roads and allows people to easily commute via mass transit. Also, more people in the area means more money in the area, which means more profitable businesses.
Forth, ugly vacant buildings need to go. Empty lots aren’t great for a town but sometimes you have to clear the distasteful old to make way for rapid future development. A lot of the existing vacant buildings along the strip aren’t in line with what the community needs to strive for; so it would be better to remove them and rebuild rather than allowing a business to move into the ugly old building.
