TO BE PLACED ON COUNCIL AGENDA OF: March 27,2017
Background Information:
In 2014 the City of Schenectady was awarded federal money to design and construct a two lane
roundabout at the intersection of Nott Street and Erie Boulevard. Construction began in the early

net increase in the cost of the project beyond the base bid. These costs were summarized by the
consultant and reviewed and approved by the New York State Department of Transportation for
concurrence. The results of which are the attached Supplemental Agreement #4 in the amount of
$754,505.55.

Survey of residents reveals residents are smoking less and a healthy majority like no-smokin~
policy.
(Schenectady, NY) June 16, 2015 -Two years since the Schenectady Municipal Housing
Authority (SMHA) implemented a smoke-free policy for its senior developments, the Capital
District Tobacco-Free Coalition (CDTFC) announced that a recent survey shows that the policy
is helping residents smoke less and is well-liked by a majority of residents.
The survey of senior and disabled residents residing at Ten Eyck, Shonowee Village and
Lincoln Heights shows that:
• Of 24 respondents who currently smoke, 18 are smoking less, and of those smoking
less, 13 report that at least part of the reason is the no-smoking policy. Just four
smokers report smoking inside their apartment at least a few times a month.
• 68.9% of respondents said they like living in a building with a no-smoking policy.
• 61.4% said someone in their apartment has a medical condition made worse by
exposure to secondhand smoke.
