which I did ask Mike the fishing we have temporary fence around the yes conru around it so nobody goes near the section that's well the whole thing actually by that time the whole thing will be gone by that yeah okay
GRE uh yes just under new business item c u we're just going to pull the reintroduction of ordinance number 2-25 the ordinance isn't complete yet it's not ready for Council option when it is it'll be on a future agenda
okay what anything nothing this evening mayor okay just for me um actually might could have touched on it we're going to be starting a construction on cther and Bailey of the resurfacing um Catherine Street is getting a large section of it
um new Curbing and some drainage work cuz we had some flooding issues over there which we're trying to resolve so that will be midle PVE um curve probably halfway down to where the sidewalks end I'm down there and it's from Warren
Street to Lake um Star Lake Star Lake for the for the paving and Bell is the same thing all of bab and there's some curb repair over there that's going to be done and some drainage work is being done at the End by Star Lake to help out the cover over there um also on Main
Street if people have seen um orange spray paint or red spray paint the county with probably the middle of April um beginning of May they're going to start the Reconstruction of Reeves AB reev will be squared off like every
other road coming into Main Street um so the the vehicles pulling into the um M's ice cream and all that will be parallel parking on street I'll have to use the parking lot in deliveries for trucks for the um for the liquor store will no
longer be able to pull straight in and stick it out half Hammer Turn Pike causing a problem it's long overdue to have the section done so it's going to be completely squared off like every like I said every other um Street running into Main Street which will make
it a lot safer they're also o adding I believe six um Crossings on hambur Turnpike with um electric um Crossings where you push the button and they start Flash and you
can walk they're doing I think two down by um Mike you correct me you were there the other day two down towards the um Reeves AV one by Dollar General another one at the Crossing of the intersection
into Butler which will go from I'll call it the Walgreens parking lot to the uh directly across not into Munchies the other side of the street they're using the short cross in there so they'll be stopped things there so it'll make it a lot safer for people
to cross on Main Street um there's one other one but I'm not sure if that's going to be down by um possibly by um by ly I'm not 100% sure by the church I haven't seen a fin plans but they told me six complete Crossings which will make Main Street a lot safer for people
to walk back and forth can um are they going to Limestone curve it the same way it' be Belgium Block Belgium yeah Ma you know somebody mentioned something to me yesterday regarding that and they said they were out of state I believe in
South Carolina and they have that when you push the button there's like things actually in the road that that light up on the road I've said I like I've never heard of such a thing is it something that we could just ask
theate County about if they're going to put that in something like I've seen what they've used that's what I do they don't do not do that um what they'll do is is when it's done they put them up and they'll put the the hash marks going across that are reflective that's all
they do and then once it's all done we assume responsibility for them just like the traffic I'll ask them but I can the plans are already done and approved and the contract is there it's already been awarded so but it's a lot better than where we are today with people just
crossing and fortunately what happened in what last year or whatever when a person a couple people got hit by a car so that's a positive for our Main Street Crossings there and it'll also help out with the SL park Vest for people going back and forth they'll have a place to walk from over there so um that like I
said supposed to start sometime hopefully the middle of April beginning of May all right okay that's all I have are they going to widen the landing on the other side no no not touching anything on SL because we just did all that they want to
shorten it because people go people come flying people stop to make the left hand turn on the people come flying out around right well yeah that keeps traffic moving that's going to be yellow out that's going to be they're going to stripe it okay because to be honest with you
when they wanted to to bump it out there we requested not because our Main Street traffic in the morning when somebody's making a left on the Reeves it backs all the way up you should be able to go around somebody there take keep traffic it's a two lane road it's just two lanes I'm just telling you what happens all
right just two lanes okay all right resolution number 10 2025 3.2 consent agenda do I have a motion to approve the consent agenda second any questions roll call please Catalano yes
