MASSENA -- Mayor Tim Currier says the Aluminum Trail project is not dead and he may have a solution.
“We’ve been looking at a number of options. We think we have a good viable one,” he told the Board of Trustees on Tuesday, adding it could be made public at their Feb. 16 meeting.
He said he wants to “finish the footbridge and be done with this thing, make this thing a reality after 10 years.”
The Aluminum Trail has been stalled since 2006.
The project is partially funded by a federal Transportation Enhancement Program grant. If the village doesn’t complete the project, they will owe the feds $229,136.
“We were notified this summer hat the time frame was running short,” Currier said.
He and Public Works Superintendent Hassan Fayad went to Watertown in September and met with Department of Transportation officials where they “brainstormed various ideas to reduce the cost of the project and make it affordable for us,” Currier said.
