Improving U.S. Rt. 11 appropriate thing to do

Posted

To the Editor:

For seventeen years I have worked on professional trail crews. We like to open new hiking trails. We have a wish list.

But how much we can do is limited by the need for maintenance and improvement of our existing trails.

I am pleased that the New York State Department of Transportation views our network of highways in the same way.

It is appropriate that $6.3 million dollars will be spent on improving Route 11, rather than on a separate four-lane “Rooftop Highway.”

Our priority should always be to maintain and improve what we already have.
