Message from the DEA: The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) has scheduled another National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day which will take place on Saturday, April 28, 2012, from 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. This is a great opportunity for those who missed the previous events, or who have subsequently accumulated unwanted, unused prescription drugs, to safely dispose of those medications.

Americans that participated in the DEA’s third National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day on October 29, 2011, turned in more than 377,086 pounds (188.5 tons) of unwanted or expired medications for safe and proper disposal at the 5,327 take-back sites that were available in all 50 states and U.S. territories. When the results of the three prior Take-Back Days are combined, the DEA, and its state, local, and tribal law-enforcement and community partners have removed 995,185 pounds (498.5 tons) of medication from circulation in the past 13 months.

“The amount of prescription drugs turned in by the American public during the past three Take-Back Day events speaks volumes about the need to develop a convenient way to rid homes of unwanted or expired prescription drugs,” said DEA Administrator Michele M. Leonhart. “DEA remains hard at work to establish just such a drug disposal process, and will continue to offer take-back opportunities until the proper regulations are in place.”

“With the continued support and hard work of our more than 3,945 state, local, and tribal law enforcement and community partners, these three events have dramatically reduced the risk of prescription drug diversion and abuse, and increased awareness of this critical public health issue,” said Leonhart.

The meeting was originally scheduled for May 26th, 2011 however, due to conflicting community events, the date of the meeting has been changed to May 31st. A brief formal presentation is planned for 6:00 P.M. followed by an open house to review preliminary plans, ask questions, and provide comments and concerns.

The proposed project begins at the intersection with NYS Route 173 (Onondaga Road) and proceeds westerly along West Genesee Street for approximately 3 miles to the intersection with Munro Road. The project is primarily a resurfacing project, and currently is in the preliminary design phase.

The West Genesee Street corridor will be milled and paved to restore the pavement. As part of the work, shoulders, drainage, and traffic signal timings will be improved, and sidewalk will be installed where warranted. Other possible improvements include the installation of bicycle lanes, and incorporating green infrastructure solutions in line with Onondaga County Executive Joanie Mahoney’s “Save the Rain” campaign to reduce storm water runoff.

The project is being progressed by Onondaga County, with involvement from the New York State Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration.

Questions regarding this meeting may be forwarded to Christopher Rauber, a Civil Engineer for the Onondaga County Department of Transportation, who can be contacted by telephone at (315)435-3176, or by e-mail at ChrisRauber@ongov.net.

Pre-registration by mail is 10.00, and must be by May 23, 2011.
