Privilege of the floor was granted to Kim VanCise
who resides on McCloy Road. Ms VanCise brought with her
a petition from residents of the McCloy Road requesting
a sign to be placed there warning motorists of children
in the area. In the past this area was mostly farmland.
Now more homes are being built there by families with
children. Because this area is located in the country,
the children ride their bikes on the side of the road,
and vehicles cannot see them from a distance. The speed
limit on McCloy Rd is 55 m.p.h.

Highway Supt, Carl Bush, reported on the
information received from the state regarding signs
which are allowed for different areas. A sign should
advise of a defined area such as intersection, school,
bridge, stop, curve, speed limits etc.
A discussion was held relating to this. This Board
has requested the state to change procedures and allow
local determination of speeds on Town roads. If this
were accomplished, we could better satisfy these
requests, and the needs of the Town. Different
alternatives were discussed.
The Highway Supt. was requested to review the area
and report back to the Town Board. He will also review
the NYS Municipal Traffic Code ruling with the Board.

Route 281 and carries dirt and debris, which over time,
has remained on their property and others. This has
caused further problems, and are upset that the State
