Commuters on the Oyster Bay Branch of the Long Island Rail Road can expect a lot of changes come Sept. 5.

Brown wrote in an email to the Herald that the changes will cost him an additional $120 a month for a municipal parking permit to use another station which he will need to do because of the LIRR’s changes. Although public policies should encourage people to take mass transit, the proposed changes will do the opposite for the Greenvale commuter.
