The Board discussed having stricter enforcement for semis that use village roads. Construction vehicles that are using the roads to get to construction sites and rock trucks that are oiling the roads in town will still be allowed on village roads. Pals also informed the Board that the sidewalks in front of the Grade School on Oak St are directly above the water lines.
