Village of Odessa Seeks Public Feedback
Through New Survey
The Village of Odessa has launched a new survey aimed at gathering feedback from the public.This initiative is part of the village’s participation in a walkability study in collaboration with the Schuyler County Departments of Public Health and Planning.
The survey is designed to collect opinions and insights on the walkability of village neighborhoods. By participating, respondents can help improve the design of village streets and make them safer and more user-friendly.
The survey is available online at https://tinyurl.com/2afab75t and takes approximately five minutes to complete. It is open to all village residents.
A separate Student Survey is being mailed to parents and guardians of Odessa-Montour Central School District students to learn more about safe routes to school.
For information contact: Joann Lindstrom, Schuyler County Director of Planning, at jlindstrom@schuylercountyny.gov or 607-535-8211.

Carbon Monoxide
Alarms Now Mandatory in All Homes
As of February 22, 2010, all new and existing homes that burn fuel

dwellings, owned or rented.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless, tasteless gas that results
when any fuel is burned. Examples of common sources that could produce
CO (carbon monoxide) are:
*fuel-fired furnaces (not electric)
*gas water heaters
*fireplaces and wood stoves/coal stoves
*gas stoves
*non-electric space heaters
*gas dryers
*charcoal grills
*lawnmowers, snowblowers
*cars
*gas-powered generators
These alarms may be purchased at Home and Hardware stores. For more
information on carbon monoxide and alarms, go to http://www.dos.state.ny.us/fire/COtoolkit.htm
or contact Schuyler County Emergency Management at 535-8200.
