The Sweden Town Board is in the process of forming a committee of Sweden Village residents to study traffic and safety issues in the subdivision and then make recommendations to the board. The recommendations could include things like additional stop signs, pedestrian or warning signs, speed bumps or cushions, changed speed limits, raised crossings, sidewalks, requests for increased law enforcement patrols, etc.
Councilperson Randy Hoke will chair the committee. Hoke is a resident of Sweden Village and retired sheriff’s deputy. Other experts from law enforcement, planning, transportation, and emergency services agencies may be asked to participate in committee discussions as needed.
The board has received seven letters of interest, however it is still seeking representatives from a cross-section of Sweden Village residents so that each distinct area within the large subdivision will be represented. Specifically, the town is seeking more representation from the western end and the center of the subdivision.
Those interested in serving on the committee should send a letter of interest or an email to Supervisor Kevin Johnson, 18 State Street, Brockport, NY 14420 or supervisor@townofsweden.org. Letters of interest should be sent by January 4.
