AYES: Four NAYS: None CARRIED PUBLIC EXPRESSION: Joyce Bigelow, 103 Long Avenue, is concerned about the traffic on Long Avenue. She cited cars travelling at high speeds from Center to Pierce, and she is concerned about the many children and grandchildren in that area. Ms. Bigelow would like the Village to consider speed humps to slow down traffic or even digital speed notification. She said she spoke with the police and they are willing to set up speed traps, but there is really no place for the police to “hide” along that route. Mayor Tallman thanked Ms. Bigelow for coming in and said the police will step up patrols in that area. The Mayor said emergency personnel do not love the speed humps, but he has talked with the DPW Superintendent about the possibility of additional signage or other alternatives. Ms. Bigelow noted the most egregious time is from 3-9 p.m. CORRESPONDENCE: Brendan Moses, Conor Long Foundation, re: request to hold the 11th Annual Bulldog Dash 5K Run/Walk in the village on Sunday, October 18, 2026 TRUSTEE MOTIONS: 2.
