A controversy rages after Cross Sound Ferry said it wanted to start ferry from the Promised Land terminal across Long Island Sound to New London, Connecticut. There is currently no service connecting the South Fork of Long Island to Connecticut and its Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun casinos. The only ferry service on the east end of Long Island goes from Orient Point on the North Fork and North Fork residents said this creates traffic jams on its two-lane roads. East Hampton (town), New York has so far successfully fought any proposal to start ferry service there.
