Our beautiful town looks tired and shabby. The taxpaying citizens and concerned visitors are calling for immediate action on the following:
- mid-town lower parking lot needs repair and paint or a banner to cover the crumbling wall until a new parking plan is implemented. Decades have gone by with nothing done to improve this unsightly mess. The Mayor has declared that no banners are allowed this is categorically untrue (Ironman) and of that is the case then a variance is requested to cover this immediately - Summer 2019.
- remove or continue building and finish the "hot dog" building on Main St. nothing should sit as a vacant shell for years . Status needed please.
- new planters needed at the foot of Main St. - they are mismatched and in disrepair.
- lines and arrows drawn in all parking lots.
- a report is requested on what immediate action is being taken to alleviate the use of salt on roads and sidewalks around Mirror Lake.
- sidewalk repair. The condition is dangerous and shameful.
The words "we are looking into it" are no longer acceptable. Every season that goes by without action is a taking a toll and the net result is a town that is looks neglected and worn.
We are asking for action and answers NOW.
Respectfully,
Friends and fans of Lake Placid

Why does it seem that Lake Placid will do anything for tourists but not provide for their own community the things we've been asking for for years. Up until it moved the road to the hospital past the cornerstore was, and still is a horrible mess of potholes. Even with the ER relocated ambulances drive over this road as it's a quick corridor to the new location. However when IronMan came it was no problem for the town to pave the road to for IronMan but they couldn't be bothered to pave the road that EMT's drive daily in an effort to get someone the care they need as quickly as safely as possible. Or maybe the local politicians don't understand how hard it is to administer care in the back of an ambulance when you can barely keep from falling over the patient.
I couldn't care less about planters, the side walk needs a complete over haul, the pavers are nice but too expensive to replace every year. That wall is a lawsuit waiting to happen. I refuse to park in that lot. Although I could use a new car. If it were to collapse the village would be liable.
I would also add that the interlocking bricks on the sidewalk around mirror lake require attention, as there are some areas where bricks are missing or gaps have developed. This represents a hazard for those walking or running on the sidewalk.
This needs to be fixed now. As well as property marked cross walks, painted and marked. I see people almost get run down all day long when in the crosswalk. Fix the wall!!!
I grew up just outside Lake Placid and love to return frequently. I’m sadden by the appearance of Lake Placid and it’s local communities. Everything g looks so economically depressed. If we tourists to return, we need to invest in the appearance at the very least
This petition is "so matter of fact"...let's clean up LP!
Our village looks disgraceful. What's going on?

I am a local of Lake Placid and am VERY excited someone said something before I did. I’ve always known Lake Placid to care more about the tourists then the locals, but now Lake Placid is letting things like back roads, main street, ect to be warn down and not safe. I don’t park on main street for the reasons this petition is addressing. I’m sick of it. The next person who has to put a hand crafted sign telling Lake Placid to fix the roads because the town isn’t going to pay for the repair of our vehicles..is pointing out what needs to be DONE just like this petition is. I love my town, but I hate the lack of respect it’s getting from not fixing what should’ve been fixed YEARS ago.
