Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Town of Manlius public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Stop Sign Installations at Two Intersections
Neighbors described speeding, blocked sight lines, near-miss crashes, and a dog killed by a delivery truck to win three-way stops at Coventry Rd South/Tilton Rd and Strawmount Trail/Quarter Horse Run. Both local laws were adopted unanimously.
Road paving and salt costs
Salt is up 16% and fuel is budgeted at $5 a gallon, and the board is deciding how many miles of road to pave next year. They want a specific paving plan before committing to a number between $430,000 and $790,000.
Quarter Horse Run speed limit and stop sign
After a family's dog was hit by a delivery truck, residents asked for a 25 mph speed limit and a stop sign on the Quarter Horse Run straightaway where kids play and wait for the bus. The board is sending the speed request to the state and set an October 28 hearing on the stop sign.
Karker Road speed reduction
Karker Road has no posted speed limit, meaning the default 55 mph applies. The town is asking the state to lower it after resident complaints about speeding.
Sweet Road Traffic Safety at Three Falls Woods
The popular Three Falls Woods trailhead has created parking and traffic problems on Sweet Road. The Board approved no-parking signs on one side and entrance signs on both approaches, after coordinating with the county.
Churchill Lane drainage and speeding concerns
A resident reported a large rain puddle on Churchill Lane caused by last year's road resurfacing, creating safety hazards for kids on bikes, and asked for a speed hump near Hoag Lane.
