There may be snow on the ground and school may even be closed today, but it's time to start thinking about Spring Fair....
We need gardeners and would-be gardeners for the Spring Fair Plant Sale on May 18th!

Belle Sherman Cottages Begin to Rise
From Margaret Snow and Karen Eldredge.......
If you’ve driven on Mitchell Street this week you’ve noticed that the model home for the Belle Sherman Cottages has been set! Completion of the model is projected to be sometime between April 15 and May 15. Of course, the home will have regularly scheduled hours for viewing by the public, and we’ll let you know what those dates and hours will be.
For more details, contact Margaret Snow or Karen Eldredge, Licensed Associate Real Estate Brokers at Audrey Edelman RealtyUSA and Representatives of the Belle Sherman Cottages, 607-220-5333. We are ready to serve you at our two locations in Ithaca, 710 Hancock Street and 2333 N. Triphammer Road.
And....more road construction updates
Given the fact that many of us drive through downtown regularly, you will appreciate knowing about upcoming delays. Give yourself more time to get to where your going starting this week:
The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDoT) will begin mill and paving work on Route 79 (Green Street), east and west starting Monday, April 2, 2012. Asphalt milling will commence on Green Street at Meadow Street on April 2nd and will proceed easterly to Geneva Street.
At that point, the work will shift to Seneca Street at Geneva Street and proceed westerly to Meadow Street.
Parking will be restricted on both sides of the streets in order to provide 2 lanes of traffic. The milling is expected to take 4 – 5 days. Upon completion of the milling operations, the NYS DoT crews will reset manholes and valves; this work may take two weeks or more. After manholes and valves have been reset, the paving will be completed.
Upon completion of the first phase of the work NYS DoT will undertake a similar effort between Geneva Street and the Tuning Fork (Seneca Way).
Based upon progress of the work between Geneva Street and Meadow Street, the DoT will either commence the second phase of work immediately or
will wait until after the first week of June.
Motorists should expect delays and use alternate routes if possible. Please drive slowly through the work zones to protect everyone's safety.
We will send out more information as it becomes available.
