20 years ago today, our nation and all of its citizens were affected in some way by the tragic incidents that rocked our country. 2,977 people died that day as terrorists directed commercial aircraft into the North and South Towers of the World Trade Center, the Pentagon in Washington, DC and the doomed jet that was directed and crashed into a field in PA. Many 1st responders perished trying to assist people in those building, including 343 firefighters. We Must Never Forget.

DPW will be starting our 2nd phase of milling and paving streets on Wednesday, August 25.

We hope to have the streets paved as soon as possible after the milling process. As always, we are asking residents for their patience through this process, especially when paving is being done. The less traffic on the street that day, the better.
Streets being done:

Gould (Transit to Penora)
Sylvia
Norman
Manitou (Gould to Terrace)

During the milling process, you will have access to your driveway, except for the short period that the milling machine is running in front of your home.

There will be no access to your street for the day that we are top coating (paving) your street. We will have road barricades in place while the road is being paved and while it is hardening. Access will resume once the barricades are removed.
Thank you for your cooperation during the milling and paving process. If you have any questions, please contact the DPW at 716-683-5700.

The Depew Founder's Day 2021 "Lite Edition" is in the books and it appears that the event was well received as more than 1,200 people celebrated with their friends and family with Hit N Run.

There were also a couple of bounce houses for the young ones and all 5 food vendors sold out of everything that they had on their trucks. Three hours of some pretty great music was the backdrop for an awesome opportunity to gather outside and celebrate the 127th Anniversary of the Incorporation of the Village.

There has been some confusion with the change to Casella as the Village of Depew's waste collection provider. There has been no change to the collection services provided and recycling weeks have remained the same. Throughout this transition, we have found the previous waste collection provider may have been collecting items it should not have. Attached is a brief presentation on what is not allowed for bulk garbage collection. Please contact the Village of Depew with any questions and we appreciate your continued patience through this transition.

We are Back to In-Person Village Board meeting at tonight's meeting starting at 7pm at Village Hall 85 Manitou Street. Contact the Mayor's Secretary Regina for a reservation for one of the 20 socially-distant seats for the public.

After 14 months of virtual meetings we will be returning to in-person Village Board meetings beginning May 24th in the Council Chambers in Village Hall. With the current NYS and Erie County guidelines we figure that we can accommodate (20) residents/guests to attend in person, plus our Board/Department Head members.

If you would like to attend, we ask that you call the Mayor's Office at 716-683-7451 ext. 129 and speak to my secretary Regina. She will sign you up as a guest for the meeting that begins at 7PM.

We ask that you wear a mask while you are in Village Hall and while you are in the Council Chambers.

It is our intention to continue with the live streaming of meetings and are currently working with an outside vendor to upgrade our audio and video capabilities. We anticipate that by the end of June we will be back to live streaming each meeting.
