Village Voice: West Highland Avenue closure starts this week

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, March 19, 2014

In December of 2013, Village Council voted to approve a request to close West Highland Avenue from Main Street to the alley west of the United Methodist Church property. 

The purpose for the closure is to ensure a safe construction environment while the new United Methodist Church is being built this spring.

The Village has received word that the closure will begin Wednesday, March 19. There will be no access to the street, parking, and sidewalks while the street is closed. The street closure is authorized until April 1, 2015.

The Village Voice: East Lima Avenue reconstruction underway

Posted by Paula Scott on Thursday, March 6, 2014

East Lima Avenue Reconstruction has begun. In an ideal world, progress happens overnight and none of us are inconvenienced while improvements are made. Progress in Ada may not happen overnight, but we do like to warn residents when it’s coming, in an effort to minimize the level of inconvenience.

If you have been near East Lima Avenue in the past week, you probably have seen various construction signs and equipment in the area. The street reconstruction project that was first shared in a public meeting in 2012, officially began last Friday, February 28. The project is expected to finish in October 2014.

Village Voice: Due to heavy snow and cold, weather village has estimated water bills

Posted by Paula Scott on Wednesday, February 26, 2014

If you have looked closely enough at your water bills over the last three months, you may have seen an asterisk (*) in the first line of the ‘Code” column. If you look on the back of your bill, you will see the asterisk means that the reading had to be estimated for that billing period.

One of the most important things we ask you to remember is that we do not estimate bills as a general rule. Our goal is to read meters every month for billing. However, heavy amounts of accumulated snow and several days of severe cold weather over the past few months have prevented us from being able to access meters.

Winter roads: Why you may not see excess salt on the roads

Posted by Fred Steiner on Wednesday, February 12, 2014

We often hear in medical reports that when it comes to salt, we can have too much of a good thing. Though the “salt” we use on winter roadways is a different product, the same wisdom holds true. But do you know why too much salt on the road is not a good thing?

Some people learn best by seeing the end result of our actions.

The next time you are travelling down Route 30 or 75, take a look at the trees growing along the sides of the highway. Are the evergreens looking brown, especially toward the ground? There is a good chance that those trees are suffering from the salt spray that is projected off the highway by vehicles.
