The Facilities & Services Committee will meet Monday at 6:45 pm and Village Council will start 7:30 pm. In both meeting we’ll be looking at an extension to the village contract with Kimble Recycling & Waste Disposal, a contract amendment to address cost increases to the Police and Fire Renovation project. Facilities & Services will also be discussing the possibility of community-wide survey in 2025.
I’ve shared my notes from last night’s Safety Committee meeting where we talked about a number of changes we could make to improve the downtown streetscape.
Stop signs are coming to East Orange Street and North Street at Mill Street.

Disappointing news from the Grove Hill Park Commission meeting this morning. With no bids solicited and no contract awarded, the half-finished projects from 2023 won’t even be able to start until the second half of this year, putting the construction of the actual park at risk.
The village received some complaints about the safety of the crosswalk on Mill Street where it meets East Orange Street and North Street, so I spent some time observing it, studying its design, and thinking about how it can be improved.
