This week the Town of Black Brook will be holding a Community Neighborhood Watch meeting for Au Sable Forks at their town hall on Wednesday, August 21st at 6:00pm. I will be there as a representative for the Town of Jay in support of this effort. As stated in their original post, “We all agree that someone has to do something and we all need to be that someone. If you are looking for change within our community, we urge you to attend!” I agree and fully support this initiative with our neighbors. I look forward to seeing you all there!
This week NYS DOT will begin work on the culvert replacement on NYS Rt. 9N near the intersection of NYS Rt. 86. Here is the release from NYS DOT:
“The anticipated start date will be Monday, August 19 with a single lane closure set up during the day from Monday to Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 5:30 pm. The contractor will be performing work on the waterline in preparation of the FULL CLOSURE OF ROUTE 9N BETWEEN ROUTE 86 AND GLEN ROAD. The anticipated start date of the FULL CLOSURE is Monday September 2. The actual date may change but be prepared for the last week of August / first week of September. The FULL CLOSURE of Route 9N is expected to take SIX WEEKS. Traffic will be directed to a signed, off-site detour route which will utilize Route 9N, John Fountain Road and County Route 82 (Glen Road). During the closure, all properties and businesses in the area will remain accessible to residents and emergency responders. A temporary sidewalk will be installed on the westside of Route 9N to allow pedestrian traffic through the work zone.” Attached is the map of the detour.
The Community Center construction is just about finished and will open to the public this week. We will be getting the electrical hooked up to the automatic doors as soon as time allows, but the doors will work manually like they have in the past. The lift has received it final inspection and is ready for use. Thank you for bearing with us during this reconstruction.
Hope you have a great week,
Matt.
