COMMUNICATIONS
-Ltr. DOT on file regarding traffic signals on Route 9 NOTE: Copy given to Highway
Dept.
f DISCUSSION held in regard to traffic light on Aviation Road Hill (Mall Lights)
Councilman Olson-noted that they flash during the day and work at night...
Supervisor Walter-none of those lights are ever in sync, I think this is very frustrating
for people to have to stop at every light at those times that you are talking about,
but those two lights are the responsibility of the mall and why the-State Dept. of
Transportation ever gave responsibility for traffic signals to private ownership is
beyond me.
Ccouncilman Olson-this is a problem for the residents of the area...

OPEN FORUM
Councilman Eisenhart-you (speaking to the respresentative of the Community Workshop)
are permitted under the Federal Grants to enter into contracts with municipalties
to do transportation? I� -
Resprsentative of Community Workshop-yes. i
Councilman Eisenhart-Why are you doing this, to make money?
Representative-We are encouraged to increase services to the elderly and handicapped,
to date the elderly have not been served, we are now getting large enough that we
have enough vehicles to be able to serve the elderly in between our regular runs. This
would not impair our own ability to handle the handicapped. Spoke on the size and
number of busses and their ability to handle wheel chairs.
Supervisor Walter-I met recently with Mike Ryan, Director of Procurement and Marketing
for the Community Workshop, and it was a very enlightening interview, he presented
the many services that the workshop offers to the area and also the fact that they
are involved in manufacturing.
