October Newsletter 2023
Dear Residents,
It has been a very busy fall in the Village. Work has been completed at Veterans Park next to the Pigeon Event Center, on the brick walkway next to the Veterans Monument. Thanks to the GFWC Pigeon Area Women’s Club, for donating the bricks for the walkway and two new benches, which will be placed along the walkway.
Paving work on the Municipal Parking Lot by the Village Hall has also been completed. Pulverized millings from the parking lot were used to expand the parking lot at the Village Event Center. Great fall weather has helped to complete the projects along with additional sidewalk work will be done yet this fall.
Also work has been completed on the Pigeon Lions Pavilion at the Pigeon Recreation Park. The pavilion can be reserved for private finctions by contacting the Village Office.
Leaf pickup will begin October 9th, and please remember to pile your leaves between the sidewalk and the curb. Leaves put on the streets are difficault to pickup if they have been rained on. Please contact the Village office if you have any questions or concerns.
Have a great fall!
Sincerely,
Michael LePage
Village President

Leaf Pickup
We are asking that you place your leaves on the grass between the curb and the sidewalk. Placing the leaves on the grass, instead of the street, enables us to pick up the leaves during wet conditions and protects our storm sewers in the process. We will start picking up leaves on Mon., Oct.9th and continue to be scheduled to pick up leaves on Mon. & Thurs. until Mon. Nov. 27th pending the weather. Please have your leaves out by 7:00 am on the day of pickup. Do not place anything but leaves in the piles. Also for everyone’s safety please remember if you can’t see the operator of the Leaf Machine, he cannot see you. Thank you for your cooperation.
