Are you researching the administrative boundaries here? I really doubt that a town ends on the centerline of one side of the Long Island Expressway.
The goal should be to make the boundaries legally accurate, which will frequently conflict with merging them with convenient nearby features.

+1. Welding a boundary to a road or waterway is dubious and brittle at best, but using a divided highway is obviously incorrect.

If you think I should move it back in the center between the two highways, I can do it. No problem.

I would say don't worry about it unless you go find the legal documents incorporating the town and set the boundary from that.
My main concern is the structural one, I don't see merging other features into the sloppy Tiger boundaries as "cleaning up boundaries", it's mostly churn that makes it harder for naive users to edit them correctly and creates the (likely false) impression that the boundary has been improved.
