Summary
The board accepted a multiuse path easement from Rivers Ledge of Niskayuna LLC and authorized a contract with LaBella Associates for engineering services to design pedestrian safety and school‑zone signage using state grant funds. The resolutions passed unanimously.
The board accepted a multiuse path easement from Rivers Ledge of Niskayuna LLC to ensure public access to the riverfront bike path in perpetuity. A council member said accepting the easement "ensures public access to the riverfront" and noted the easement guarantees the constructed path will remain open.
Separately, the board authorized a contract with LaBella Associates to provide engineering services for pedestrian safety signage projects — work paid for with a state grant. The engineering scope will cover flashing speed/school‑zone signage on Route 7 and at locations near the school; the board explained that traffic engineering review is required for Route 7 placements because of state/county roadway considerations.
