2 He said that he was not sure why it was even done. Mr. Lovecchio agreed with Mr. D’Ononfrio adding that he was upset that he had contacted several people at Town Hall and no one had returned his calls. Supervisor Ulatowski said that he and the Highway Superintendent would look into it.
Mr. Lovecchio explained that he also owns property in Cicero and appreciated the fact that they notified him when they were paving there.
