5. Question of this Week: is anything being done about the Route 9A and North State Road intersection? Yes, and at our direction, we have preliminary plans to provide for significant changes to this problem intersection. Because of its complexity as well as conflicting jurisdictions, we have initiated discussions with NYS and WC. To do this correctly, we anticipate that the costs will be high; and, we will be actively seeking available funding to address the need.
