Residents described heavy traffic and frequent curbside parking on Broadway that blocks driveways, reduces sight lines for pedestrians and makes navigating the street difficult for delivery and service vehicles. Commenters said some municipal lots — including the lot associated with St. Sylvia’s Church — are underused and asked the village to make their availability clearer to drivers.

Speakers recalled a past municipal policy intended to allow businesses to operate without denying storefronts for lack of parking and suggested the village revisit signage and outreach to encourage employees and customers to use municipal lots. Trustees said they regularly hear parking complaints on social media but encouraged residents to raise issues at public meetings so officials can respond directly; they also said they will explore additional daytime patrols and check municipal signage.

Why it matters: Broadway and other nineteenth-century streets in Tivoli are narrow and were built before modern vehicle sizes and current traffic volumes. Residents argued that clearer information and enforcement would reduce safety risks for pedestrians — especially children — and reduce vehicle conflicts in the village center.

Next steps: Trustees said staff will review municipal parking signage and consider an outreach effort to make municipal lots easier to find; the board also reported that it has requested more patrols during daytime hours to address speeding and unsafe maneuvers. No formal policy change or ordinance was proposed at the meeting.

Ending: Trustees encouraged residents with concerns to come to village meetings and sign up for the village email list for updates about parking, events and other municipal services.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees Meeting 06/18/2025","oneSentenceSummary","Several residents urged the Village of Tivoli to better publicize municipal parking options, increase enforcement and consider signage after ongoing congestion on Broadway and other narrow village streets created safety and access concerns.","taxTitle","Rhinebeck, Dutchess County, New York","taxId",62384,"location","headline","","shortSummary",{"_33":76,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":77,"_41":78,"_43":79,"_45":80,"_47":81,"_49":82,"_51":83,"_53":84,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":85,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":86,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657644,"Tivoli trustees weigh options for village trash service after public forum",554,1262000,1816000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067880-e01d9e7df11a600e32bade39c69ea54d&start=1262&end=1816","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067880-e01d9e7df11a600e32bade39c69ea54d/thumbnail_1262000.jpg","/articles/6657644/Rhinebeck/Dutchess-County/New-York/Tivoli-trustees-weigh-options-for-village-trash-service-after-public-forum","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657644-e9318d72915d69aba4ee445dd27af898/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161657&Signature=g-XdHf1pOSS0AHUvxsrPiN8AykX8q14rMCA8lAj9a1jvCtII0VSPdlYHOtL1b8puxgWlHFBTfkqrHM0wve-Uh5Thoxxl65CsxmTeDKKk~JOxrJeWA39GhTlHmbpH2i6Z5lm2EkcJ6Y0390C5AvVeB32GJfxwBPxu0EnOXGRRsMTrjwZt0VDuItSXP27wHnDLoNmBxh2XX3KwZAIeCawOYcrtzb8vPHjl~QRzCvXItcKolhDgxjFKsvRX~75e5CTK7Rt9C3GvTjwjtuD3vVbSb5dRQ0rYm8rlU8YAdWAQtEe0p4krH0gRvQt6biVQRcEf8oItrC2f7x6ZIM4rAelGpw__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees discussed options for the village’s curbside waste collection after a public forum called “Trash Talk” and signaled plans for additional community outreach and possible shared-service trials.

Trustees said the forum, convened to crowdsource solutions and collect user experiences, identified three principal options: (1) abandon the village-run system and allow private haulers to serve individual customers; (2) create a municipal management district that would centralize collection under a single contracted hauler; or (3) pursue a shared-services contract with the Village of Red Hook, using Red Hook’s purpose-built collection truck and staff on a reimbursable basis.

Board members and forum participants said the current arrangement strains village equipment and staff time, that the size and weight of bagged waste has increased wear on the village truck, and that current ticket pricing does not fully cover program costs. Supporters of the local service said its pay-per-bag model encourages waste reduction and provides a lower-cost option for some households.

Trustees said they will issue a short survey to collect more precise data on how many households use the village service, how frequently they use it, and what features users value. Officials also said they would continue conversations with Red Hook about a possible trial shared-services arrangement that could preserve the village’s ticket system while reducing DPW wear and offering safer, purpose-built equipment.

Why it matters: The village-operated program affects DPW workload, municipal vehicle wear and tear, household costs and local aesthetics. The chosen course could change how residents purchase waste service and how the village budgets for equipment and personnel.

Next steps: Trustees plan to publish the survey in the coming weeks, continue cost discussions with Red Hook, analyze the potential fiscal impact of each option and return to the board with recommendations later in the summer. Staff said existing tags would continue to be used if a trial with Red Hook moves forward until a permanent model is selected.

Ending: Trustees described the review as a summer project of public outreach, testing and financial analysis; no decision was made at the meeting.","Trustees reviewed community feedback from a ‘Trash Talk’ forum and discussed three paths forward for village waste service: open market, a management district, or a shared-services contract with nearby Red Hook; a short survey and a possible trial arrangement were planned.",{"_33":88,"_35":36,"_37":38,"_39":89,"_41":90,"_43":91,"_45":92,"_47":93,"_49":94,"_51":95,"_53":96,"_55":56,"_57":58,"_59":97,"_61":62,"_63":64,"_65":98,"_67":68,"_69":70,"_71":68,"_72":73,"_74":73},6657647,"Tivoli board approves Furrow Avenue drainage plan, extends engineering services and signs parking lease",295,523000,818000,"/Search/View?dp=1&key=5067880-e01d9e7df11a600e32bade39c69ea54d&start=523&end=818","https://assets.pipeline.soar.com/5067880-e01d9e7df11a600e32bade39c69ea54d/thumbnail_523000.jpg","/articles/6657647/Rhinebeck/Dutchess-County/New-York/Tivoli-board-approves-Furrow-Avenue-drainage-plan-extends-engineering-services-and-signs-parking-lease","https://secure.pipeline.soar.com/6657647-98cc52b5954f2cd5a5f761cb6b9d7ab7/orig.mp4?Expires=1771161657&Signature=YV0wFilT1GmgauBvsNTqwvybhoVxX7tZoD5p06uy8P7RT5dEhiwDSl6Afw081BsNxF7c7rE95GtgwtfvWJl9OxqIPSxDv4~B8tpuwCdJN71rHUkM0Uaa1FRhoEizMF10UTwiAhSddXksgyR90wOGjj7XfW-KYdhmgLdEdXrBeAec6HMFwz2c4CbadzXox~7CSjZab50Csj~wJT4DZTjwZkYrWgpGSUK6PlhtRWfCEgxbjnls9pEQv1beIa01Bo1jdH6xIKSssBOBXKNxUcrSwq9dnxmd1OxvbGHmf4v0nMLXg18DKNjWtfBBKdfHRaQW7~TiD~9E8jmKvfTxdnZL9w__&Key-Pair-Id=KUT5TJCACFTXG","The Village of Tivoli Board of Trustees voted to advance stormwater work on Furrow Avenue and approved related municipal agreements at a regular meeting that also included a lease renewal for a municipal parking lot and formal support for the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad New York Scenic Byway.

The board approved task order number 7 to move the Furrow Avenue drainage improvement project toward design and construction. The project’s total cost was described at $840,000; a $672,000 Climate Smart Communities grant will cover most of the work and the village will contribute a local match of about $82,000 drawn from its CHIPS (Consolidated Highway Improvement Program) funds. Trustees were told survey work has begun and officials expect to go out to bid in January with construction hoped to begin in spring.

Trustees also approved a three-year addendum to the village’s professional services agreement with Ty and Bond Engineering and Landscape Architecture, keeping the firm on the village’s list of on-call engineering consultants. Board members said the extension does not commit the village to a specific project or specific dollar amounts; rather, it maintains Ty and Bond as a prequalified consultant the village can use for water, wastewater and related engineering tasks. The village also works with Crawford Engineering on other categories of work and the firms have subcontracted with one another on past projects.

In separate action the board authorized continuing the long-standing municipal lease of a Mason-owned parking lot — described in the materials as Monumental Hudson Widow’s Son No. 73 and Associated Masons, Inc. — for $1,500 a year through June 30 of the next fiscal year. Trustees said the leased lot helps relieve parking pressure in the village’s core.

The board adopted a resolution supporting the nomination of the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad New York Scenic Byway and the associated corridor management plan. The resolution states the village will participate in stewardship and program development for the 544-mile corridor and will not approve requests for new off-premise outdoor advertising (billboards) along the portion of the byway that runs through the village.

Why it matters: The drainage work targets recurring flooding on the village’s north and south sides — described by trustees as chronic problems affecting properties between Furrow and Montgomery streets and in the Tivoli Acres area. The design work authorized Tuesday covers stormwater collection where none now exists, culvert assessment under Broadway, and upsizing drainage where needed; trustees said the work should reduce stormwater ponding in residents’ yards when completed.

What happened next: Trustees recorded motions and votes adopting the task order, approving the Ty and Bond addendum, renewing the Mason lot lease and adopting the Scenic Byway resolution. The meeting materials identified the drainage item as task order number 7 and named the grant source for the Furrow project as a Climate Smart Communities grant.

Votes at a glance

- Task order No. 7: Furrow Avenue Drainage Improvements — approved. Motion text in the packet authorized payment of the village’s portion of design and construction work and moved the project toward bidding; village match approximately $82,000 against a roughly $840,000 project budget, with $672,000 covered by a Climate Smart Communities grant. (Outcome: adopted; individual roll-call detail not specified in the transcript.)

- Ty and Bond professional services addendum (three-year extension) — approved. The addendum maintains Ty and Bond on the village roster for on-call engineering services; it does not specify project-level spending. (Outcome: adopted; individual roll-call detail not specified.)

- Lease with Monumental Hudson Widow’s Son No. 73 and Associated Masons, Inc. (municipal parking lot) — approved. Lease payment described as $1,500 for the year through June 30 of the next fiscal year. (Outcome: adopted; individual roll-call detail not specified.)

- Resolution to support the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad New York Scenic Byway and adopt the corridor management plan — approved. The resolution commits the village to stewardship and states the village will not approve new off-premise outdoor advertising along the designated corridor. (Outcome: adopted; individual roll-call detail not specified.)

Background and next steps: Trustees said DPW crews have been clearing a filled-in swale that historically drained the Tivoli Acres neighborhood and that the village previously passed a resolution to send an inspection robot into the culvert under Broadway to determine obstructions and capacity. The board discussed using CHIPS funds as the local match for the Furrow project and expects to advertise bids in January for construction documents and then to schedule physical work in the spring.

Meeting presenters and named staff who handled agenda items included Gary Beck, the village building inspector, Treasurer Bonnie Day and Village Clerk Chris Cleaver, all identified in the meeting record. The board thanked staff and volunteers for coordinating grants and survey work that made the drainage design possible.

Ending: Trustees set the next board meeting for Wednesday, July 16, 2025, at 7 p.m. at the historic Watts DePeyster Hall, 86 Broadway, Tivoli, New York. The board said staff will continue grant administration and design work on the drainage project and will post procurement notices when bidding begins.","The Village of Tivoli trustees approved a task order to advance the Furrow Avenue drainage project with an $82,000 local match, extended an on-call engineering agreement with Ty and Bond, renewed a municipal parking lease with a Masonic lodge and adopted a resolution joining the Harriet Tubman Underground Railroad New York Scenic Byway.","actionData","errors"]
