OGDENSBURG -- Ogdensburg city council will hold a public hearing Monday at 7 p.m. regarding the installation of new traffic devices at two State Street intersections.

The devices would be installed at the intersection Washington and State and the corner of Ford and State. The hearing will allow residents an opportunity to comment on a proposed New York Department of Transportation project that would include installation of four-way stop and no right turn on red traffic devices at both intersections.

City manager John Pinkerton says both intersections are hazardous to pedestrians. He said his concern is for the residents of the towers, who are mostly senior citizens. He said the area has heavy pedestrian traffic and was worried about accidents.

Ogdensburg Police Chief Rick Polniak said drivers can be ticketed only if pedestrians are in the cross walk. He said people crossing the streets in that area can be stuck for multiple light changes if drivers continue make right turns on red lights.

Councilors are hoping to get input from the residents regarding the potential change.
