Supervisor Stewart said it is his understanding the Town does not need to have a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Public Hearing. The hearing is something the County does. The Town is just making an application.
Sr. Peggy Scarano, Chairwoman of the CDBG Advisory Committee explained that Sr. Jude Miriam and herself reviewed three applications: a Generator for Thorpe Village and the Cathy Lukens Home and roofing and siding for the Covent House. They attended the mandatory training session and found out the money will be given to the villages and towns and not to the non-profit groups, which means these three applications would not qualify. Two weeks ago, the Town decided to submit an application to redesign the intersection at E Central Avenue and N. Middletown Road in Pearl River.
James Dean, Superintendent of Highways, said the intersection at E. Central Avenue and N. Middletown Road, and all the way down to Blauvelt Road is unfriendly and unsafe to pedestrians. The purpose of this $180,000 project is to protect pedestrians and promote walking as a safe, healthy and sustainable mode of transportation for seniors, persons with disabilities, students and shoppers. The project will include curb cuts, a safety island, installation of a new traffic signal and controller, ADA warning plates in curb ramps and audible pedestrian signals at all crossings.
There were no public comments.
RESOLUTION NO. 54 APPROVE ACCEPTANCE/SUBMIT APPLICATIONS/COMMUNUNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT (CDBG)
Councilman Valentine offered the following resolution, which was seconded by Councilman Troy and was unanimously adopted:
RESOLVED, that the Orangetown Town Board approves, the following 2013 CDBG Committee’s recommendation, to be submitted to the County of Rockland Community Development Office for consideration and approval.
The proposed Central Avenue and N. Middletown Road Intersection Redesign, Traffic Signal, and Pedestrian Safety Improvement project.
