Warrens trustees reject resident requests for alley repairs and a streetlight at 106 Main Street
Summary
A resident raised safety and erosion concerns about the alley behind 106 Main Street; formal motions to direct alley repairs and to install a streetlight each failed on 0-6 votes, though the minutes record that DPW was asked to obtain an estimate once frost and snow conditions allow.
During public comment on March 17, 2026, resident C. Myers raised concerns about erosion, caving and gravel in the alley behind 106 Main Street and requested repairs and a streetlight in the alley.
The board considered two separate motions. A motion to direct the Department of Public Works to address erosion and gravel concerns in the alley behind 106 Main Street (repair and regrading as deemed appropriate) was proposed; the formal motion failed, recorded as 0-6. Separately, a motion to determine whether to install a streetlight in the alley also failed on a 0-6 vote.
Despite the failed motions, the minutes state that the board requested DPW obtain an estimate for the alley work once frost and snow conditions allow. The record therefore shows no formal authorization to start repairs or to install lighting at this meeting, but it documents that staff were asked to prepare an estimate for future consideration.
The minutes do not record dollar amounts for the alley work or the streetlight, nor do they identify a timetable for action beyond the estimate request. No trustee votes in support of immediate repair or installation were recorded. The board’s next regular meeting is set for April 14, 2026, where any further consideration could appear on the agenda.
