Please note that the Town Hall parking lot project is not quite completed. If you are coming to see us, please use the Village parking lot across the street as we do not own the lot on the north side of the building. If you have mobility issues and this is tricky for you, please give us a call at (607)387-5767 and we'll do our best to assist you. The project will likely be completed next week! Thanks for your patience. IN THIS WEEK'S ULYSSES NEWSLETTER: Road Work Book Sales Pruning Classes Habitat Preserve Walk Youth Employment Free COVID Tests Village Water Bills Due ROAD WORK ON MONDAY- DUBOIS, KRUMS CORNERS. WILLOW CREEK AND KRAFT ROAD: Tompkins County Highway Department will be chip sealing Dubois, Krums Corners, Willow Creek and Kraft Roads beginning at 7am on Monday, April 28. One lane of traffic will be maintained, but drivers are encouraged to find alternate routes during this time. What is Chip Seal? Chip seal is a pavement surface treatment that is also known as tar and stone, oil and stone, or bituminous surface treatment. A chip seal's purpose is to "seal" the road from water penetrating which can shorten the life span of the road. Any repairs needed to the roadway system are made prior to beginning the chip seal process. In most cases, chip seals are applied to roads that have recently been repaired and the county is working to preserve the investment and extend the life. Why do we use Chip Seal on County roads? Chip seal is a very cost-effective means of pavement preservation. It typically costs one fourth to one fifth the cost of a conventional asphalt overlay. Chip seals can extend the life of a roadway by 5-7 years as well as correct pavement conditions such as surface bleeding (where liquid asphalt leeches out of the pavement), variations to surface texture, raveling (disintegration of pavement due to loss of aggregate), cracks, decreased skid resistance, etc. For questions or concerns please contact the Highway Department at (607) 274-0300. about:blank 1/4 4/28/25, 10:06 AM Ulysses Updates for 4/25/25 - Casey Beck - Outlook Map of state/county/local/seasonal roads ULYSSES LIBRARY SPRING BOOK SALE: The annual Spring Book sale will take place from Thursday 5/1— Sunday, 5/4 at the library at 74 E.
