Nā Manaʻo Hoʻokū Kaʻa no West Broadway
Pono kahi hoʻolālā liʻiliʻi no ke kaʻa ʻana ma kahi kauhale ma kahakai. Hoʻohana ʻo Port Jefferson i kahi ʻōnaehana uku-i-ka-paka kikohoʻe e holo ana mai ka hola 10:00 AM a i ka hola 10:00 PM i kēlā me kēia lā. No nā huakaʻi lā piha, e kāpae i nā mika alanui 2 hola.
