NYS surprised Peru drivers this morning
By John T. Ryan
Peru – April 22, 2022 – State Route 22 drivers had a surprise this morning. The NYS Department of Transportation (DOT)installed a stop sign at the corner of Maiden Lane and Route 22. DOT did not notify Peru officials. Peru Town Supervisor Brandy McDonald said, “I didn’t know about it until my phone started ringing off the hook.”
McDonald said he’ll be on the phone Monday attempting to learn the DOT’s reasoning. Local opinions will undoubtedly be divided. Some people believe the stop sign is a good move, while others don’t.
The Peru Gazette thanks Brandy McDonald for the photos.
Edited at 9 a.m. Saturday, April 23, 2022, to reflect Brandy McDonald’s [lanned phone call to DOT and to delete a little editorializing.
