A family owned business in the heart of downtown is telling Sussex residents to "Tell Village No to Roundabouts," and with their property on the line, the owners are getting nervous.
The new message to Sussex residents: “Tell Village No to Roundabouts.” It’s plastered on a huge sign in the heart of downtown Sussex. With the first official meeting among Village Board members to discuss the Main Street construction project scheduled for Tuesday, Toots and P.J. Cain are doing everything they can to get residents to show up and oppose roundabouts. The Cains are the owners of Paul’s Service, a second-generation, family owned auto body shop on the corner of Main Street and Maple Avenue. If the village chooses to construct a roundabout on that corner, Paul’s Service could be in line for some real changes. “We’ll be affected big time because they’re talking about taking in the edge of the road between 8 and 15 feet to …

Piggly Wiggly hosted the design team looking for more resident input on the project in the second of four public events on Friday.
Project managers working on the Main Street Reconstruction Project held their second public input meeting at the Piggly Wiggly on Friday from 11 a.m. - 2 p.m. in hopes of getting more feedback about the street. Must like the last meeting on Oct. 26, the team displayed a huge map of Main Street and asked residents to put stickers on the map with a number corresponding to their comments. This meeting, however, was more informal. Set up at the entrance of the grocery store, the project managers attempted to lure passers-by without a lengthy presentation. Instead, they handed out a 'Frequently Asked Questions' sheet about the redesign, compiling eight of the most common inquiries residents had during the previous meeting. According to the …
