Notes from the DANA meeting

Here's a brief run down of what was discussed at the DANA meeting last night.

Delaware Ave Road Rehabilitation Project
The City has contracted with Clough Harbor and Associates to do a 'full-depth' reconstruction. Michael Hurtt from CHA said this meant the road would be excavated for approx 2 feet and then built up from a new foundation.

They are still in the planning stages so there aren't a lot of details yet. Plans are expected to be complete by the end of 2007. Construction will start late in 2008 continuing into 2009.

Comment sheets were handed out and I can make copies for anybody interested. Comments will be mailed directly to Michael Hurtt.

Community Outreach
Amanda Paeglow from the DA's office talked to us about community service. She said she's got some people-power available to do community service. I've got a phone call in to her to see if we can get a litter patrol out on the Ave.

Healthy Neighborhoods Program
Lorraine Caroccia provided some great information about the Healthy Neighborhoods Program. If you are interested in how to keep your house clean and safe, call Lorraine at 577-0933. She'll supply you with FREE cleaning supplies, smoke detectors, batteries for your smoke detectors and CO detectors. Lorraine will show you how to use the cleaning supplies to "Get Ahead of Lead." Sounds like a great program and is available to home owners and renters.

Library Plan
The Del Ave. librarian thanked everyone for getting out the vote. She said renovation of Chicorelli's is supposed to begin February 2008 and be complete by the end of 2008.

Comprehensive City Plan
Cathy Fahey spoke about the Comprehensive Plan. The Common Council will be establishing a city wide advisory board. If you are interested in participating, contact your council member for more info.

Reverse 911
Officer Matt Montesano said the city used Reverse 911 (I believe for the first time?) during the Feb 14th snow-storm? I think I've got the details mixed up in my notes. Matt wanted folks to be aware that the city now uses Reverse 911, so if you get an automated phone call listen to it for a few seconds before hanging up. It could be a public service announcement instead of the dreaded telemarketer.
