Just wondering how folks around Ramapo feel about a street clock that the town paid to install in Suffern, one of seven installations that Supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence said were part of a beautification campaign.
Suffern Mayor John Keegan thinks the town ought to remove the recorded greeting: “This is Ramapo Supervisor Christopher P. St. Lawrence wishing you a lovely day.”
Tax dollars funded the clock – about $30,000 – and it was installed with Suffern’s permission.
Mayor John Keegan was initially enthusiastic – saw it as a nice, no-expense deal for the village – but now he isn’t so sure.
Some folks commenting on the story saw it as self-promotion by St. Lawrence.
What do you think?
Here’s a video for those who haven’t seen the clock:

This year promises to bring drastic changes to the village’s downtown, with the construction of new stores, apartments and townhouses.
Village officials also speak of declining crime rates, and how a “24-hour community” will make for a safer place.
What’s needed to bring more consumers into Spring Valley? What kinds of stores and restaurants would be draw? How much an issue is public safety?
