PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE LED BY COUNCILMAN BRIAN CLEMENTS
1.0 PUBLIC HEARINGS
PUBLIC HEARING: AMENDMENT TO ORDIANCE 28 ESTABLISHING THROUGH
HIGHWAYS AND STOP INTERSECTIONS IN THE TOWN OF QUEENSBURY,
COUNTY OF WARREN, NEW YORK
NOTICE SHOWN
PUBLICATION DATE: MARCH 25, 2016
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- The intersection that we believe, because the neighbors have asked for
this, and we went and inspected it ourselves, is an intersection at Burnt Hills Drive and Kylians
Way. Councilman VanNess may want to elaborate on this intersection a little bit more.
COUNCILMAN VANNESS-It's a new intersection of Burnt Hills Drive and Kylians Way. As you
approach Killian's Way off of the new intersection crossing from Luzerne Road over to Sherman
Avenue, it's a blind streak as you come up a small crest and you're turning a corner, Kylians Way
ends up being right there and vehicle can't be seen coming out of Kylians Way or up off the ridge of
Burnt Hills Drive. As John said, we happened to be looking at something else over in Herald Drive
the other day. We took him through there to show him exactly what the issue was. It's just to add a
stop sign. Actually, there is a stop sign on Kylians Way, it's to add to stop signs on Burnt Hills
Drive.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-Right. Okay, thank you.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-We had somebody ask taking about taking down trees last time too.
COUNCILMAN VANNESS-Yeah.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS- And you had told them that they weren't going to take down any.
COUNCILMAN VANNESS-Nope, no trees.
COUNCILMAN CLEMENTS-People might want to know that.
REGULAR TOWN BOARD MEETING, 04-04-2016,MTG 411 375
COUNCILMAN VANNESS-Yep, we had a young lady that walked up from the school that asked
if we were going to lose any trees because of it. I checked with Tom and Dave and there will be no
trees removed.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH- So tonight there's a public hearing. Is there any member of the public
that wishes to speak to the proposed stop signs on the intersection of Burnt Hill Drive and Kylians
Way? I see none. Any further discussion by Town Board? I hear none. All right, does anyone want
to bring this to the floor?
COUNCILMAN VANNESS- Close the public hearing.
SUPERVISOR STROUGH-I'll close the public hearing.
