Good evening and welcome to our work session for the village meeting for the village of Pleasantville.

It's November 10th, 2025.

And I'm starting for Mayor Peter Scher who is absent tonight.

In

case you don't know me, I'm Trustine Nicole Aswith.

And we are welcoming our pedestrian committee this evening for an update on everything that they've been working on.

And you guys have been very active.

So I'm eager to hear the latest.

Go ahead.

So

we've had a busy year.

Yeah.

Very exciting year, actually.

From the committee standpoint, we're taking on a couple of projects.

And the two main ones that we're looking at now are at Grandview and Manville, and that's in the process.

And then at Nanny Hagen and Ashland, which is also in the middle of a process.

And we're kind of going slow and really meeting with a lot of residents in the area.

And they share their opinions on what works and what doesn't

work.

So on the Manville corridor at Grandview, we we went out, we did several walkthroughs.

And as of right now, there's been additional painting of lines on Manville at Academy, and they're still looking to go up towards Grandview and what would

work

in that area.

And the old sign that's on Grandview will most likely be replaced and then maybe some sign um some striping added to Manville, but that all has to go through the state.

And but it seems to be moving along.

So we're happy with that progress.

Okay.

And over on

Nanny Hagen, yeah, um, I know results from the study are in with Anthony.

So uh he had met with DTS Provident, who is the consulting engineer.

Uh they've laid out a schedule.

Uh so right now they uh actually also was mentioning it, Austin Cambriel, who lives on that Hagen Road, he's the chair of the CDA.

Uh, they are going to be laying out the traffic counters.

Right.

Um, and so they'll do traffic counts uh probably starting next next week, uh, which will give us a picture of how many cars are traveling that corridor and how fast.

Um and then they will deliver to us uh some ideas for improvements, um, which will range from low cost, you know, more feasible options to high cost, more complicated options.

Um then with that they'll develop a speed home policy for for us uh at a village or for the village wide.

Village wide, yeah.

That was something we talked about.

That's a

good

idea.

And they'll and they'll take that framework and use it on uh Nana Hagen uh to give us uh an idea of whether it would uh be advisable.

And then they're also going to take a look at Hopper's room.

I mean Hobby Street.

So I'm just gonna have to do that.

Well, and we're very interested in in after the holiday season, picking up, you know, maybe uh focus group or community further community engagement over in the Nanny Hagen area.

Um they're very eager to see change and work with us in a more formal way.

So that's part of our plan for next year.

And

to just

kind of um

you

know, bring to the forefront what Eric had just said, it's about data.

So we're doing slow studies, data-driven resident involvement, and we're acting as a liaison for people in areas that have safety concerns.

So that seems to

be

um working out really well.

And I think the big excitement is that we did receive a grant.

Um, so we've been invited to be in the process.
