Summary
The Town Board voted to support a New York State DOT detour request using Veil Road for a culvert replacement and directed the highway superintendent to implement a text-alert system on the town website and place signage.
The Town Board voted to support a New York State Department of Transportation request to use Veil Road as a short-term detour for a large culvert repair and directed the highway superintendent’s office to implement a text-alert system on the town website and install detour signage.
A board member said he had submitted a letter to New York State DOT requesting use of Veil Road as a short-term detour for a large culvert replacement, describing it as a recommendation from the highway superintendent. “I make a motion to this to support his resolution,” the board member said when introducing the item.
Another board member seconded and recommended the highway superintendent’s office “place … the text alert system on our website.” The motion carried with the board saying, “All in favor? Aye.” The board also discussed installing signage related to the detour.
No further specifics on timing, required permits from NYSDOT, or costs for signage and alerts were provided in the meeting record; the board tasked the highway superintendent to follow up on implementation steps.
