Village updates on Saw Mill River study and 2024 road milling/paving contract
Loading...
Summary
Officials discussed a recent watershed study (Rum Brook/Saw Mill River area) and a linked paving project: Greenberg and Groundworks Hudson Valley will pursue further flow modeling and potential grant seed money; curbing is complete on a local paving project and staff are coordinating contractor scheduling to perform deeper sub‑base milling and paving, funded with multimodal grants and CHIPS.
Village staff reported on two related infrastructure topics: a completed study of the Rum Brook / Saw Mill River corridor and progress on a scheduled 2024 road milling and paving contract.
Speaker 3 said the watershed study identified areas south of the village that merit further modeling to understand how interventions would affect flows upstream and downstream; Groundworks Hudson Valley and Greenberg are potential partners, and seed funding or tax‑incentive (TIF) money could cover preliminary steps. Speaker 3 said further work would likely occur in spring and that additional conversations and more detailed flow analysis will be required before construction.
On roads, staff (Speaker 5 and referenced staff member Tony) reported curbing was completed and the paving contractor schedule was pending; the planned paving is more extensive than routine overlays, with excavation to install a sub‑base, base course and surface to improve durability. Funding was described as a combination of multimodal funds and CHIPS (state highway aid); staff asked the board to reconfirm awarding the contractor consistent with the 2024 contract framework. No formal award vote is recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: Staff to confirm contractor availability (weather permitting), continue grant and modeling conversations for river work, and return with contract confirmation and schedule.
