SPEAKERS & COMMUNICATIONS • Joanne Ryan- 211 Porterville Road- She said that speeding has been an issue, and she sent an article regarding that to the Village Board. She thanked Police Chief Welch for getting the school pick-up route changed for the kids crossing Pine Street. She read a statement regarding her concern for traffic issues that she has with Pine Street and how it compares to other roads, especially with traffic controls and crosswalks. She said that she feels there is no safe place to cross on Pine Street. Mayor Mercurio said that the Village Board is working on getting a crosswalk at Fillmore. Mrs. Ryan said that she believes that isn’t good enough. Mayor Mercurio asked Village Administrator Krieger what the county has said so far. Village Administrator Krieger said that the engineers felt that the only road that may meet the standards for them to install a stop sign is Girard and Pine. He said that they all agreed to wait until spring, when the traffic is up, to do the study. He also said that kids walking from Middle School should go down Main Street to Pine, and he said that crosswalks without traffic control are not safe. Mayor Mercurio asked Village Administrator Krieger to contact Lindsey Lorigo for a meeting or more information for the Village Board.
