Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Town of Clifton Park public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
4 issues with medium priority
Maxwell Road safety near new kindergarten
Three new stop signs for the Lincoln Avenue neighborhood and a 150-foot no-parking zone on Green Meadow Drive near Route 146, both from Highway Safety Committee recommendations.
Regulation of Electric Bicycles (E-Bikes) on Town Roads and Trails
The Board created a volunteer committee for a townwide trails and bike/ped plan — but Supervisor Barrett argued the Town already has more trails than any Capital Region community and the plan money is wasted. Residents questioned whether all trails are wanted and how committee members were picked.
Park West PDD amendment hearing scheduled
A November 4 hearing will consider making Park West's internal roads public, dropping a planned 3,000-square-foot clubhouse, and dedicating stormwater basins.
State stormwater mandate and catch basin inspections
New DEC rules require inspecting roughly 5,300 catch basins — about four months of dedicated crew time — so the Town is hiring MJ Engineering for up to $60,000 to handle documentation.
