The “Please Drive 25, Delhi Loves Our Kids" initiative, led by Matt Dreyfus, has swiftly gained momentum in our community. With the initial batch of signs already distributed across the village, the project has made a significant impact in promoting child safety on our roads by encouraging drivers to voluntarily drive 25 mph. Due to the overwhelming response and growing demand for these signs, Matt has taken the proactive step of ordering more, ensuring that our streets remain safe for our children. Matt welcomes any donations from the community to help offset the costs associated with producing and distributing these signs.

We are happy to announce the arrival of our brand-new John Deere 410-P Backhoe, a powerful addition to our equipment fleet that promises to make a significant impact on our community projects and boost productivity. Our trusty 2006 JCB model served us well, but it was time for an upgrade. The John Deere 410-P Backhoe offers us more digging power, longer digging reach, and better maneuverability.

The purchase of our new John Deere 410-P Backhoe is eligible for reimbursement through CHIPS funding from New York State. This means that we're not only upgrading our equipment but also being financially responsible by saving Village of Delhi taxpayers money.

We can't wait to put our new backhoe to work on a wide array of projects. 

I wanted to take a moment to provide you with an update on the ongoing crosswalk improvement projects at Division and Main Street, as well as Court Street and Main Street. These projects were initiated with the goal of ensuring that all of our crosswalks meet the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).

I want to assure you that your safety remains our top priority. In light of recent concerns raised by members of our community, including myself, about the safety of these intersections, I want to share some important information with you.

I have personally been in touch with the Department of Transportation (DOT), the engineer responsible for overseeing the project, and will soon be discussing our concerns with an ADA specialist dedicated to this project. These discussions are essential as they provide an opportunity for us to address any safety issues that have been identified since the implementation of the improvements.

It has come to our attention that some residents believe these intersections have become more dangerous following the recent changes. Your feedback is of utmost importance to us, and I encourage anyone who shares this concern to voice their thoughts.

If you believe that these changes have resulted in increased safety risks, I kindly request that you reach out to Regional ADA Specialist Lonnie Rawson with your feedback and any concerns you may have.

Lonnie Rawson: (845) 988-6370

Your input matters, and we are committed to making our community as safe and accessible as possible. By voicing your concerns, you play an integral role in shaping the outcome of these projects and ensuring that our crosswalks are both ADA compliant and safe for everyone.

Thank you for your continued engagement and dedication to our village. Together, we can make positive changes that benefit us all.

UPDATE

The state is planning to install railings around curbed areas to prevent pedestrians from walking over the curbs. The aim of this action is to enhance safety and guide pedestrians towards designated crosswalks. I’m hopeful that this installation won't negatively impact access to the merchants' stores or obstruct access to the crosswalks. If people find the railings to be an inadequate solution to the problem or have any concerns, they should communicate their feedback to Lonnie Rawson.
