The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) will host a Public Information Meeting to review the proposed Safety and Drainage Improvements along US Route 20 and NY Route 5 from the 5 & 20 split to the bridge over Cattaraugus Creek.  The Safety Improvements include a road diet that will reduce the lanes from four lanes (two lanes in each direction) to 3 lanes (one lane in each direction with a center turn lane) as well as drainage improvements throughout the corridor.  The signals will be replaced at the 5 & 20 split and at the intersection of US Route 20/NY Route 5 and Allegany Road. 

The Public Information Meeting will be held on: Tuesday August 22, 2023, from 4-6 PM

Our request to reduce the speed limit from 30 to 25 has been denied by the Town of Hanover.  The law allows villages to make this change but does not allow towns with populations less than 50,000 people to set their own speed limits unless they are designated a suburban town.  We can continue to pursue this with the State, but it will take time.

Per your feedback, we have not pursued speed bumps with the Town.

The first week of May the Town will conduct a yard brush pick-up to include yard waste only.  It should be stacked neatly and should be placed away from poles, mailboxes or other items so their equipment (big claw) can get in to collect it.

No garbage, construction items or metal should be included.  For these items, your membership entitles you to our annual Heavy Trash Pick-up scheduled for June 5th this year.
