May 2026 Highway Report

Good evening, ladies and Gentlemen

I’d like to take a moment to thank the men and women of the Highway dept. for their continued hard work and dedication.

Cimarron rd is closed at the bridge, barring any issues we are trying to keep this closure as short as possible, 8 to 10 weeks at most I will do my best to keep everyone updated as the project moves along. I ask residents to drive slow on Horton Hollow.

Unregistered vehicles are not permitted to be parked on town roads. If they are they will be  tagged by the building dept and  will be towed within 10 days

Our tree crew took down several dead trees along roads.

Our Blacktop crew has been out patching roads where needed 

We continue to repair dirt roads 

We have been hammering and splitting ledge rock on Sprout brook Road widening the shoulders in several area as well as creating a gutter to allow rain water to flow towards basins

We did drainage repairs on North shore Rd where we replaced 40 ft of 18 in pipe and Lovers Lane where we replaced 40 ft of 18 inch , 120 ft of 15 inch 40 feet of 12 inch 

Our Basins repair crew has repairing basins they will be out daily as we have several in need of repair. They repaired 25 YTD

Vac-ALL crew has started cleaning basins in Lake Peekskill they have cleaned roughly 100 basins so far.

The phones at highway are monitored 24 / 7 and I ask residents with issues to call us and not post on Facebook as we don’t troll for complaints. Several people have been going back and forth about highway related issues on social media instead of calling me my phone is on 24 / 7 I will not answer people’s questions on social media. 

I can always be reached in my Office 845-526-3333 on my cell 845-745 -0795 and SKEELER@PUTNAMVALLEY.GOV
