Phase III of the Dutchess Rail-Trail, opened on May 26. The trail, which will eventually be 12 miles, follows the former Maybrook Rail corridor and a water transmission line runs beneath it. The third phase links the Towns of LaGrange, Wappinger, and East Fishkill and creates more than 8 miles of continuous trail. Dutchess County [...] Rails to Trails: is this Springville NY’s own golden tourism opportunity? Filed under: Buffalo, Rail-trail, Trail Building, Western NY Tagged: Erie Cattaraugus Rail Trail [...] A special Thanks! goes out to everyone who contacted the County Legislature on Monday regarding the extension of the extra sales tax we pay here in Putnam County. Your efforts pulled the matter from the agenda from Monday to be reschedule for 2011 when it should be dealt with. Your work proves that a little democracy can go a long way. Mazel Tov! [...] Wow! The top news at the online edition of the NYJN is that Bobby Kennedy has filed for divorce. In the meantime, home foreclosures are rocking our communities and destroying families, unemployment benefits are running out for millions, millions more have no health insurance, there’s a little oil gusher in the middle of the Gulf of Mexico that is being felt over thousands of miles of coastline, local governments are corrupt and ineffectual, we’re fighting wars against enemies we’ve created out of thin air…. and the list goes on. But set all that aside so we can focus on the private life of a guy who has done good works for our communities and the river that binds us all together. Yeah, that’s journalism in 2010. [...] Last week Vic Tiship, who lives out in the Free State of Western Kent, sent an email to folk alerting them to tree cutting that was going on along Peekskill Hollow Road. While NYSEG had crews out on Route 301 clearing trees from the power lines he insisted this was different, that this was the county doing the work and not so gently at that. [...] Hudson River Valley Greenway presents grants to three Ulster County trail projects NEW PALTZ – The Hudson River Valley Greenway Friday announced the awarding of three grants to trail projects in Ulster County. The funding is part of the 2009 Greenway Conservancy Small Grants Program. The Southern Ulster Alliance and the Town of New Paltz were given $17,750 for the Southern Ulster Alliance Project. They will design a link between the Hudson Valley Rail Train and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail, creating a more regional trail system in Ulster County. The County of Ulster will receive $7,000 for its Sojourner Truth County Park. This project will add 400 feet of Americans With Disabilities Act accessible trail to connect a parking area with an existing ADA accessible trail and other recreational trails. The Hudson Valley Rail Trail Association, Inc. will receive $1,500 to create the Hudson Valley Rail Trail Brochure. The Hudson Valley Rail Trail will soon become a link to the newly opened Walkway Over the Hudson State Historic Park, and provides a vital recreational resource to the residents and visitors of Ulster County. The brochure will provide information to those seeking to utilize the trail and its amenities, [...] “I was taken off the Personnel Committee with no discussion, or hearing, or input on my part but they’re not going to stop me from doing my duty as legislator.” – PC Legislator Tony Fusco (see story) Good Friday Morning, The Town of Kent is in the process of constructing a bathroom at Farmer’s Mills Park, a project that will cost tens of thousands of dollars, I think unnecessarily. I asked Supervisor Doherty if the Town had considered the use of composting toilets and to her credit she said they had but that the county health department wouldn’t approve their use. I might advise the town not to engage in the drilling of wells, the digging of septic or the laying of pipe for a leach field just yet, when for tens of thousands of dollars less they can go the way of national governments and state and national parks across the globe with the use of a composting toilet instead. Just because the Department will not approve of this tax dollar and environment saving utility does not mean the town should throw up its hands and move forward with the more expensive project. Rather, [...] |
