Streetlight Outages
City continues to battle failing drivers in the LED lights. These drivers are failing at an alarming rate. We are working closely with the vendor to utilize warranty where possible. Encourage the use of compalints@geneva.ny.us or the report a streetlight outage form on city web page
Weather
We are monitoring weather conditions and are prepared to respond with all available resources. Salt stockpiles and deliveries state wide have become limited. Crews are continuing to limit salt spreading to main thoroughfares, intersections and hills. As a temporary measure to increase traction and making street surfaces safer to drive on, we may consider applying course road sand.
