FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
DEC decision could set precedent for other roadways in contact with State Lands
May 30, 2009, Long Lake, NY – NYSSA welcomes the decision Commissioner Pete Grannis has ordered establishing Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) policy recognizing Old Mountain Road as both a town road and a legal right-of-way for public use.
With a very few roads open to the public, access to some of New York’s most beautiful scenery has been extremely limited. Opening some of these little used roads will enable access by those who enjoy the outdoors whether by foot, horse, bicycle, ski or snowmobile.
The Adirondack Park was created for all to enjoy, in all seasons of the year. Opening use of some existing roads to snowmobile use would have minimal impact on the six-million acre park, but could provide sorely needed economic stimulus to communities within the Adirondack Park. Greater tourism through the winter months would provide additional support to the communities, businesses, and residents that depend on those businesses for employment.
