BLESSING OF THE BOATS

July 5th is BLESSING OF THE BOATS, this year with a special purpose that's very important in our lakeside life. John Miller writes, "Unlike years past we will announce beforehand that beneficiary is need for a AFD new dock. Tickets will be sold. Not sure of what yet. Working on people to do something.....special." This event, beginning at 5:30 p.m. with the Blessing, is always special and always a great time for the community, so watch for what will make this tradition extra special this year.

Mayor March 1st water update

Cayuga Lake Watershed Network

Help us fight the HABs by becoming a HABs Harrier!

The onset of beautiful warm weather has reminded us that Summer is right around the corner! This also means that the optimal time for harmful algal blooms (HABs) is fast approaching.

HABs pose a threat to Cayuga Lake. They can produce toxins that lead to sickness and even death in people and pets, and they have the potential to undermine Cayuga Lake as a source of drinking water and a desirable place to live or spend a vacation. As a HABs Harrier, you would play a key role in tracking, understanding, and ultimately managing this emerging threat in our region.

You do not need to go out and buy bottled water. You can bottle up public drinking water from your faucet. It is important to use only clean, food grade plastic or glass containers that seal tightly and replace the supply every six months. Bottled water should be stored in a cool location away from direct sunlight.

Rt 81 Information

The issue of the reconstruction of I-81 through the city of Syracuse is extremely important for the Village. All of you are aware of the truck traffic through Aurora and the broken pipes, congestion, noise and safety issues that it causes. The DOT is in the final stages of deciding whether to repair the elevated highway through Syracuse or to demolish it and replace it with a street-level boulevard. The boulevard would be a regular city street, with 16 stoplights, connecting I-81 at the south of the city to I-81 at the north of the city. The highway traffic itself would be routed east onto 481 and eventually connect again with I-81 on the north and with the Thruway. Right now truck traffic comes through Aurora, or takes other routes to the west, instead of staying on 81, because these routes are 15 to 20 miles shorter than remaining on 81 and the Thruway to get to destinations west of Syracuse. Taking these alternate routes from Homer to Thruway exit 42 (Geneva) is between 57 and 61 miles; taking the proposed 81 and 481 route is over 90 miles. There is no doubt that traffic headed west from I-81 will find Aurora an attractive shortcut. We cannot afford more long-haul trucks through our village.
