VERY IMPORTANT NOTICE

CHANGES IN THE WINTER ALTERNATE SIDE PARKING LAW

As was mentioned in the Spring Newsletter your village board has been
forced to make some adjustments to the Winter Odd-Even Parking Laws:

Effective November 1, 2009 the Odd-Even Parking Law will change as listed:

Effective for 24 hours beginning at 5 PM. "PARK FOR TOMORROW" (Previously Midnight to 7AM)
Example: on December 1St, on or after 5PM park your vehicle on the Even Side of the Street.
ALL STREETS in the Village will have 24 hour alternate parking except the following:
(Previously the law did not apply to one side only parking.)

Miller St. (0ne Way) - Parking on S.West Side Only.

No Parking allowed any time on these listed roads:
Church St.
Old State Road - Chenango to Rt.7.
Beacon St. - between Chenango and Kirkwood Ave.

Last winter we experienced numerous problems due to residents leaving their vehicles on the streets during snow storms and clean up.

If a vehicle is parked illegally it will be towed at the owner's expense (inc. storage costs)
to expedite safe snow removal with reasonable consideration by our Police Department.

CANADIAN GEESE IN OUR PARKS
For over 10 years he Village has been attempting to eliminate and prevent the Canadian Geese from creating a mess in our parks. This situation is made worse as the fields within the park are where several youth sports are played.

Over these years we have spent well over $20,000 in an attempt to alleviate this problem:

• We have sprayed a grape solution that was partially successful but had to be repeated after every mowing & rain and proved to be very costly but the geese eventually became immune to that application.
• We teamed with Broome County Parks and Broome Community College and shared the cost of having a company with Border Collies come to the park daily at random times to scare the geese. This was successful for a short period of time then the geese acclimated themselves and avoided the park during the visits when the dogs were present.
• We have also worked with the County and BCC and submitted a combined application to the Federal Wildlife Commission that allows the county to "edle the eggs" along the river in an attempt to eradicate the eggs. This along with the recent floods has been successful in reducing the total population but sufficient numbers remain to cause significant damage.
• Other area parks have used extremely loud automatically timed gunpowder charges and air horns to scare the geese but again they would adjust their timing and eventually became immune to the sounds.
