The meeting came to order at 7 : 40 PM . Joanne brought
in a copy of the NYSEG utility maps . They were taken from
• an aerial view . Eventually ( this summer ) NYSEG will have
it put on CAD .
Sue spoke with Thomas Pacelli from the DOT ( Region 3
S yracuse office ) . He is in charge of putting together the
years plan for traffic counts . The DOT is getting ready to
d o them . They ' ll put the Town ' s requests for specific areas
t o have done in the plan if they let them know ahead of time .
Sue will call him hack . David inquired about critical traffic
problem areas in the Town . One area is the intersection at
K rums Corner and Rt . 96 ; another is Sheffield Road said Alex .
After talking with Jim Meeker , Catherine reported that in
t he Town of Ulysses there are 37 miles of Town road , 40 miles
o f County and 17 miles of State roads . David suggested that
a traffic count done at 2 different times ( for instance April
and July ) on Routes 89 and 96 would indicate recreational
u se and might be helpful . Simultaneous counts ( more than
o ne location ) would give us more information said Gary .
Roxanne announced that Tom King from the Tompkins County
Chamber of Commerce will be coming to speak on tourism on
February 28 , 1994 at 7 : 30 PM at the Town Hall . The Planning
B oard has also extended invitations to area businesses to
come to two business forums on either March 14th or March
21st . Both meetings will be at 7 : 30 PM at the Town Hall .
The Board is interested in their needs for zoning , expansion ,
etc .
David inquired about a highway map . The one that the
Town has is a little outdated . The road on Duddleston ' s property
has been abandoned . Larchmont and Tamarac need to be added .
S ome names are incorrect ( like Lawn instead of Camp St . ) .

fully someone from the Village ) to look into water for the
