New York State Senator Michael Nozzolio was at Ladoga Park Saturday to talk to residents about getting a railroad crossing reopened in their neighborhood. Norfolk Southern Railroad blocked the crossing in May, and residents have been up in arms since then, saying that closing the crossing halves access to their neighborhood, posing a safety hazard.
"I am approaching this from a safety standpoint, that it's the right thing to do to have the residents protected," Nozzolio says. "To insure that emergency vehicles can serve that area of great citizens who pay a lot of property taxes. I believe they deserve appropriate protection."

Ludlowville residents came to Lansing Town Hall Wednesday to learn what is going to be done about storm water and flooding that has caused substantial damage to the hamlet over many years. Tompkins County Senior Planner Scott Doyle hosted the meeting th get input from the effected residents, and to outline a $480,000 project that will improve drainage and help to avoid future damage.
"When I was first briefed on the Ludlowville project there were two things of note," Doyle said. "One was the complexities of the flooding issues here. Secondly it struck me how important this project is in your community. Part of that is evidenced by all of you coming together to work on this project."

On at least four occasions people sounding off to the Star about an issue they were angry at the Town of Lansing about have also implied, but not for print, that Supervisor Scott Pinney's business dealings with the Town are suspect. Each specifically mentioned Pinney's wife Tracy's purchase early this year of Genoa Sand and Gravel, which has been a major supplier to the Lansing Highway Department for about ten years, and incidentally employs Deputy Supervisor Connie Wilcox part time as bookkeeper. When pressed none has offered any evidence of wrongdoing, or has been willing to go on the record.
Pinney was willing to go on the record about the challenges that face him as both a business owner and elected official. "When I ran my campaign I stated I would no longer do contract work with the town through my business once I was elected," Pinney says. "Alex Cole Paving hasn't done any business with the town. However, my wife's business does. The Town still rents equipment and they are buying gravel from Genoa Sand and Gravel. As far as I know the Highway Department has been buying gravel out there for years."

Ludlowville Flooding and Drainage Public Meeting - Tuesday, August 26, 2008, 7:00 PM, Lansing Town Hall located at 29 Auburn Road.
The Town of Lansing and Tompkins County will host a meeting to discuss flooding, drainage, and erosion concerns in the hamlet of Ludlowville. Issues of discussion will include flooding and erosion associated with the existing culvert on Ludlowville Road over a feeder stream to Salmon Creek, as well as bank overflow problems along Salmon Creek near the Community Park and neighboring area. All residents affected by these concerns are urged to attend.
The Tompkins County Planning Department, in cooperation with the Town, Tompkins County Highway, and Tompkins County Soil and Water Conservation District, has contracted with Barton & Loguidice, P.C. and TG Miller Associates to complete a full engineering study of these problems so that possible solutions may be evaluated. The study is being funded in part through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation's Water Quality Improvement Project program. The Ludlowville community's input and observations concerning this matter are welcomed and needed to guide the process toward a successful conclusion.
