On Sat 4/23 the Peru Lions Club continued its 20 year tradition of roadside pickup in Peru.
This year they partnered with the Peru K-5 PTO and the Peru Scouts for a very successful event. More than 20 volunteers of families and Lions came together to collect 50 bags of trash on sixteen roads across Peru. Many thanks to all the volunteers and to Casella Waste Management for providing the supplies for the effort.

Photos of Peru’s new State Route 22 – Maiden Lane stop sign. NYS DOT installed the sign yesterday morning without notifying town officials.
A witness said some cars stopped and others didn’t. At one time, traffic was backed up a small distance.

Joanne and Preston Daniels were two of the first people to arrive at the fire station with trash.
These folks turned out at 8 a.m this morning. Lions club members will be in the parking lot until noon with plastic gloves, bags and pickers. Casella vouchers are available if you can’t return the trash to the Fire Station this morning.
On Saturday, April 23rd, the Peru Lions Club is partnering with the Peru k-5 PTO to organize a Peru town-wide pickup/cleanup event to recognize Earth Day. We invite all Peru individuals and organizations to join us. Casella Waste Management has donated supplies, including bags, vests and pickers, and vouchers so people can drop off the full bags at the convenience stations free of charge. These supplies will be available beginning at 7 AM at the Peru Fire Station parking lot. The official kickoff will be at 8 AM, so bring a friend and join us. After your pickup, return to the Firehouse until noontime to return your vest and pickers.
Thanks to Casella for their support of the project.

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.
