Hearing set to consider stop sign at Saratoga and Harlem after business-owner complaint
Summary
The board set a May 18 public hearing for local law 1 of 2026 to consider adding a stop sign at Saratoga and Harlem streets following a business owner's safety complaint; staff corrected a street-name typo during discussion.
The board voted to set a public hearing for local law number 1 of 2026 to consider adding a stop sign at the northeast and southwest court/west corners of Saratoga Street and Harlem Street.
Staff said a business owner in the corridor reported drivers cutting across from Albany Avenue to Lower Hudson at high speed and that a stop sign might slow that movement. During discussion 'Maggie' corrected a typographical error, saying, "It's Harlem, not Hamilton." The board set the hearing for the next meeting on May 18 after a motion and second.
The action was procedural: trustees approved only the hearing date and not a final traffic change. Any change would follow the public-hearing process and any necessary traffic or engineering review.
