The process of right of way acquisition for the N. Triphammer Road Reconstruction Project is almost complete. An important component of that project, five new, coordinated traffic lights are in place. The traffic light at the intersection of N. Triphammer and Graham Roads was paid by Tops. A right-turning lane from Sevanna Park onto North Triphammer is planned for spring.

The program for maintaining and rebuilding portions of the 15 miles of roads within the Village continues. Pedestrian needs have a high priority in the project design: the sidewalk along Sheraton Drive has been built, Uptown Road has been reconstructed, and a new traffic light at the intersection of Warren and Uptown Roads is in process.

New sewer units have been issued. We have found a way to provide sufficient sewer units for our needs until a regional solution to waste water treatment has been found.

A more cost-effective, efficient, way of providing water for the present customers of Bolton Point, Cornell University and the City of Ithaca is being negotiated.

The Planning Board is working with landscape architects, Village residents and business owners to develop a plan for low traffic commercial districts.

The Board is continuing efforts to improve its communication with the residents.
