Eagle Scout candidate Adrian Runsky proposes replacing Route 9W sign in Lloyd
Summary
Adrian Runsky of Scout Troop 70 presented an Eagle Scout project to replace a broken Route 9W road sign, estimating materials and labor costs at roughly $1,000 and outlining a 2-month fundraising plan followed by 1–2 months for construction; the board offered logistical support for donations.
Adrian Runsky, a member of Scout Troop 70, presented his Eagle Scout project to the Town of Lloyd board: replace the aging and damaged road sign on Route 9W at the Highland-Esopus border and strengthen its supports. He described the proposed sign as 10 feet tall and 8 feet wide and said the materials list includes new signs, six posts, screws, brackets, paint and cement. Lamanna Signs quoted $760 for the signs and told him they already had the graphics.
Runsky told the board troop members would provide all labor and estimated total project costs at about $1,000. He said he expected roughly two months for fundraising and an additional one to two months for construction and removing the old sign. He described a design change using rubber between metal rather than plywood to improve durability and durability.
Board members and attendees asked logistics questions about fundraising and upkeep. The supervisor offered that anyone wishing to donate could leave a check at the town office for safekeeping, and board members suggested Venmo or passing donations through local service clubs such as Rotary, Lions Club and the American Legion. Members also suggested plantings and asked whether Girl Scouts might help with landscaping and longer-term maintenance.
Runsky circulated a sample of the proposed sign for review and thanked the board for feedback. The board did not take a formal vote; members offered support and direction on donation logistics and potential coordination with service clubs and town staff.
