3 issues in roads
Road funding boost via CHIPS and state programs
Last winter's snow cost $924,859.48 to plow state roads under the town's NYSDOT contract; the board amended the agreement to reflect it.
2015 Bicycle & Pedestrian Plan status report
Supervisor Dunning reported the town has added 25,080 feet of sidewalks since 2015 for about $2.06 million, much of it grant-funded, but bike improvements are limited because most major roads belong to the county or state. Identified trouble spots remain largely unaddressed.
Highway Department Equipment Upgrade
Vehicle #58 needs a fuel pump repair costing over $15,000 — more than the aging truck is worth, with known transmission issues looming. The board was scheduled to authorize scrapping it and recovering whatever value it can.
