Residents press board on poison ivy, park litter and a hazardous service‑road turn lane
Summary
Public commenters urged the board to rehire a lake treatment contractor for poison ivy, to address park litter and to engage state/town officials about a dangerous service‑road turn lane where drivers with turn signals continue straight, creating crash risk.
During the public comment period, resident Rich Dayhead asked the board to rehire a contractor who previously treated poison ivy in the lakes, saying the problem had returned and asking the village to act before it worsens. The chair said staff would look up the contractor's prior agreement and follow up.
Other residents raised litter and volunteer capacity in local parks and urged the board to consider hiring a part‑time worker to empty trash and water plantings. One resident warned about a hazardous service‑road turn lane, saying, "Someone is going to get to hit," and asked the board to invite state or town legislators to a meeting to discuss changes to lane markings and safety improvements.
