Large Culvert Being Replaced, Traffic Detoured 8AM to 3PM

Some preparation work will be done Tuesday, August 19^th, 2025, to ensure that the road closure on Wednesday will last only several hours. The Highway Department will have all available employees on site to expedite the replacement of the culvert with the closure expected to last one day, from 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM.

Those travelling in the area are asked to seek alternative routes, using Crescent Road, Lapp Road and Grooms Road throughout the closure. Travelling from south of the closure, Use Moe Road to Crescent Road, to Lapp Road to Grooms Road.

Beginning Tuesday, September 2, 2025, contractors for the Town of Clifton Park and Bass Pro Shops will be installing a new traffic signal and traffic pattern at the intersection Clifton Country Road and Southside Drive. Construction will occur on either side of the intersection throughout the week. For the local community, this area is where Wendy’s, Jimmy’s Egg, and the Olive Garden parking lot are located. All work will be performed during the day, and detours will be available when lane closures take effect.

The Traffic Signal Bases should be completed by Friday September 5, 2025.

The Clifton Knolls 2025 Leaf Pick-Up Schedule will begin on Monday, October 20, 2025, and will continue through Friday, December 5, 2025, depending upon the weather. There will be no pick-up on Tuesday, November 4 (Election Day), Tuesday, November 11 (Veterans Day), Thursday, November 27 (Thanksgiving Day), and Friday, November 28. There will be no extensions expected beyond December 5, 2025. If conditions allow, however, and if sufficient leaves have been raked to the curb, the Town Highway Dept. may start picking up leaves a few days earlier than the scheduled start date of October 20. Please be aware that the last week of the schedule is completely dependent upon the weather, since an early snowstorm or frozen conditions could shut down pickup operations for the season earlier than planned. Be advised that procrastination or waiting for the last week to start leaf gathering could result in missing out on leaf pickup if winter conditions arrive earlier than normally anticipated. Please note that the Mill Creek development is not included in the leaf collection district.

In general, Clifton Knolls will be broken up into four sections, with each of the four machines working continuously through an entire section. However, depending upon the availability of equipment, this could change somewhat. The sections are as follows:

Residents are reminded that piles of leaves on the pavement surfaces pose a safety hazard for pedestrians, bicyclists, and vehicles. Leaves in the road can also clog catch basins and cause street flooding. Please DO NOT move leaves into the street but pile them only on the edge of your property. Also, leaves should not be moved into the center islands. Branches and sticks must be removed or broken-up or reduced in size to 6-inches or less in length and less than 1/2-inch in diameter to prevent clogging of the leaf vacuum machines. Suggestions about pick-ups or situations requiring attention should be reported to the Town Highway Superintendent at 518-371-7310. Calls made within 24 hours of a problem can be addressed quickly, so take an active role. Also, please check the Clifton Park Website at www.cliftonparkny.govfor additional information or changes.
