From Brighton Town Supervisor

William Moehle Every season I enjoy seeing the family fun options in the Recreation Department newsletter. Recreation Director Becky Cotter and her team work to find new and exciting ways for people young and old to enjoy their free time, learn a new skill or subject, or simply get out and play! Winter is no exception, and even though the Rochester weather gets everybody down at some point, the Brighton Recreation Department has the cure for the winter blahs right here in this newsletter and Brighton’s parks and trails are open for enjoyment no matter what the weather. Whether you are a toddler, teen, or adult, enjoy a game of cards or pickleball; you can have fun indoors or outdoors, hiking, snowshoeing or cross-country skiing.

You can register in person, through the mail or on the Town webpage, www. townofbrighton.org/rec.

The popular Brighton Winter Market will be open at Brookside School again this winter through mid-May, every Sunday except Easter Sunday, from 1-4pm. Meanwhile, construction will continue on the future Winter Market location in Buckland Park. When completed, the new Winter Market will expand and thrive in a former farm building that will celebrate the agrarian heritage of Brighton.

The Brighton Memorial Library continues its active programming for all ages during the winter months.

Whether you are a senior or the parent of a tween or toddler or if you’re looking to take a lunchtime break with Books Sandwiched In, enjoy a family movie night out or learn to use an E-Reader, the Brighton Memorial Library has you covered! The Library is generally open 7 days a week during the winter, holidays excluded. For more information about Library programming, visit www.brightonlibrary.org.

The newest addition to the Town’s trail system is the Highland Crossing Trail.

This trail, a joint project of Brighton and the City of Rochester, connects the Erie Canalway Trail with the Genesee Riverway Trail, opened in October and is over three miles long. It starts at the Brighton Town Park on Westfall Rd. and runs north into the City of Rochester, past Empire State College, the Brickstone Senior Living Community, and through Highland Park and the Highland Park neighborhood in the City. Like all Town parks and trails, it will be open all winter. We do not plow our trails, so you will be able to use them not only for hiking but also for cross country skiing and snowshoeing. The Brickyard Trail, Highland Crossing Trail, and the Lehigh Valley Trail will also be open for cyclists, including fat tire snow riding. However, cycling is not permitted in Corbett’s Glen Nature Park at any time. Dogs must be leashed at all times in all Town parks and on all Town trails.

Brighton is a walking community year-round, and in addition to our beautiful trails, many people also walk on our sidewalks during the winter and therefore all property owners are required by law to keep the sidewalks in front of their properties clear of ice and snow. Remember, school children are walking to school while it is still dark in the morning, and they must be able to safely use sidewalks. If you or your neighborhood would like an easier way to meet this obligation to clear your sidewalks for next winter, talk to the Department of Public Works about establishing a sidewalk snow removal district in your neighborhood.

It will cost you only a few dollars a year.

Our Highway Department crews will also continue to pick up leaves, even after the first snows. As always, please remember to pile leaves on your lawn, NOT in the street!

Winter driving can bring special hazards, so remember that even driving at the speed limit may be too fast for inclement winter conditions. Also

585-784-5260

remember that pedestrians are still out during the winter, and kids may be especially difficult to see, particularly when snow piles line our streets. Our police are on patrol as well, and receiving a speeding ticket is one winter activity you’ll want to avoid. Also remember that snow plows need extra room to operate…please give them that room, and don’t try to pass or pass them in close quarters.

Every ten years, the United States conducts its Census. The 2020 Census is important for Brighton because funding programs and Congressional and other governmental representation are all based on population. We want everyone counted so Brighton gets its fair share.

Responses to the Census will be confidential, safe from cyber criminals and will not include any questions concerning citizenship or legal status in the US. The 2020 Census will be taken online, by phone, by mail and, as a last resort, in person. Our goal is to ensure that everyone in Brighton responds timely to the Census. Most of us will receive a letter inviting us to participate in the Census in the middle of March 2020. The letter will give information on how to respond online, which is the preferred response, or by phone or mail. People who do not respond by late March will receive further reminders in the mail during April, and as a last resort, those who still have not been counted will receive a personal visit from a Census worker. Please participate and cooperate with the Census. We will be working with Census 2020 here in Brighton and you can be confident that your participation is good for our nation, good for Brighton and good for you!

Enjoy the holiday season and the entire winter with some winter fun, courtesy of the Brighton Parks and Recreation Departments!

Conversations with Town Clerk Daniel Aman The 2020 Town & County Tax bills will be mailed during the last week of December. If you do not receive your bill by January 11, please call my office (784-5240) right away so we can investigate. Your full payment or first installment is due

by February 10. As always, complete payment instructions and deadlines can be found on the reverse side of your bill.

Everyone whose taxes are paid via escrow are automatically sent a receipt for their taxes and everyone who pays at the Town Clerk’s Office walks out with a receipt, but for everyone else it requires action on your part. If you would like a receipt, make sure you

check the box on the payment stub.

In our continuing efforts to promote sustainability (and to save money), we are now also sending receipts by email. If you go to townofbrighton.org/ receipts, you are now able to request that your receipt be emailed to you.

Installments or full payments can always be made in person at Town Hall from 9-5. If you are only available later in the evenings, I installed a payment drop box at Entrance #9 at the rear of Town Hall that is available 24/7. As always, you can also make your payments, at either of the M&T branches (S. Clinton or Monroe Ave) in Brighton, or by mail.

Now on to our furry friends. Please keep us up to date on rabies boosters,

moves (and passings) between license renewals by going to townofbrighton. org/dogupdate. If the rabies info is up to date, you will be able to save a trip to Town Hall and renew your dog’s license online when it is convenient for you.

Lastly, as much as it pains me to write, please do not bring your dogs to the office when you come in to do business with the Town UNLESS it is a service animal.

My staff all love dogs, but they are not supposed to be in public buildings.

Brighton Highway Winter Policies The Town of Brighton is responsible for snow and ice control on Town, County and State roads within the Town of Brighton with the exception of the State Expressways. As winter approaches, we want to remind everyone of the necessary rules and regulations that provide for your safety and the safety of the traveling public on main roads and neighborhood streets within the town during the winter snow and ice season. Our Highway Department Dispatchers are on duty 24 hours a day during the winter season and may be reached at 784-5280.

Some important winter policies for you to be aware of are:

post. Since there is no legal authority which grants an owner the right to place a mailbox along a public road in the rightof-way, our repairs and replacements are done as a courtesy. The one-piece plastic post/box combinations or any type of custom mailboxes will be replaced with our standard post and box. If you have an expensive and/or decorative mailbox and/or post, it may be worth considering the option of storing it for the winter and replacing it with an inexpensive assembly.

• Highway and Road Salting Our Highway Department follows the “Sensible Salting Guidelines” established

by Monroe County, in conjunction with the Environmental Management Council.

This policy requires us to use only enough salt to make our highways safe for motorists, but requires you to reduce your driving speed according to conditions.

• Mailboxes It is the Town’s policy to repair mailboxes that are damaged by Town plows during snow plowing operations or to replace them with a standard rural mailbox and 585-784-5260

• Winter Parking In order to facilitate snow removal and to eliminate potential hazards, the parking of vehicles on all highways, shoulders, or within three feet of the pavement within the Town, is prohibited between the hours of 2:00 AM and 7:00 AM from November 1st to April 15th. Vehicles in violation of this ordinance are subject to a parking ticket. Repeat violators or vehicles that prevent plowing of a street will be towed and the vehicle’s owner will be responsible for all towing and storage charges.

• Driveway Clearing When clearing your driveway of snow, the snow shall be kept on your own property.

Any snow pushed, blown or plowed onto any street is a ticketable offense under both New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law and New York State Penal Law. If your driveway is plowed by a private contractor, both you (as the property owner) and the plow operator may be ticketed. Snow should be pushed to the left side of your driveway (if you are facing your house) so that when Town snowplows go past your house, it will minimize the amount of snow going back into your driveway.

LEARN TO PLAY HOCKEY

The Learn to Play Hockey program is designed for children that are not yet playing hockey at a competitive level, or are brand new to the sport. Successful completion of the Learn to Skate program is highly recommended, as participants should have a good grasp of the fundamental skills of ice-skating in order to thrive in a hockey environment. Participants will gear up in full equipment, some for the first time, taking the ice as a real hockey player. The program focuses on phase one hockey skills - skating technique, early stick handling, and shooting technique. This intro to the game of hockey will allow participants an opportunity to enhance their current ability or build a strong base of skills for the brand new player. It will be our goal to move these new hockey players into organized hockey as soon as those opportunities are available, and to educate the parents on the various avenues of organized house and travel hockey leagues.
