The Village Board of Trustees has continued to devote great effort towards the creation of intermunicipal systems.
 

Water
Within three months an intermunicipal agreement will be approved combining the Bolton Point System with the Cornell and City of Ithaca systems to be managed by Bolton Point.

Sewers
Good progress is being made towards an agreement combining the Ithaca and Cayuga Heights Waste Water Treatment Plants into a single system, which should be in place by year's end. John Bailey is the Village representative to this planning group.

Roads
The North Triphammer Road reconstruction project, 80% funded by New York State, will start construction in 2001. The intersection of Uptown and Warren Roads will have a new traffic light funded by the County, Cornell, and the Village. Tops will fund a light at Graham Road and replace five other lights.

The Board has placed a high priority on pedestrian needs. The sidewalk on Sheraton Drive has been completed.

Other Issues
The Greenspace Advisory Council has been formed and is active. Deer management has included controlled bow hinting on the Murray Estates property. Non-lethal methods continue to be explored. The Time Warner Franchise Fee Account has finally been paid to the Village with interest; they will offer digital TV soon.

Comprehensive Planning
All candidates are committed to maintaining the character of the Village. To this end, the Village has hired the firm Environmental Design and Research to develop a plan for low traffic commercial districts we can be proud of.
