C). Resolution #29, To accept the Wallkill Valley Rail trail and Hudson Valley Rail Trail Link Feasibility Study
Supervisor Osborn proposes the following:
Whereas, the Town of Marlborough is a founding member of the Southern Ulster Alliance, whose sole purpose is to create a structure for regional cooperation and economic development that is broadly based and inclusive; and,
Whereas, the Southern Ulster Alliance applied to the Hudson valley Greenway Community Council for a grant to enlist the services of a professional trail designer to design the connection between the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in the Town of Lloyd to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail in the Town of New Paltz; and,
Whereas, the Southern Ulster Alliance completed and adopted a Trail Report in 2006, which outlines the future trail needs within Southern Ulster County; and,
Whereas, the connection of the Hudson Valley Rail Trail in the Town of Lloyd to the Wallkill Valley Rail Trial in the Town of New Paltz is an integral part of the future trails plan; and,
Whereas, the connection of this trail will link the “Walkway Over the Hudson” to the Towns of New Paltz, Gardiner, Rosendale and additional towns both North and South; and,
Whereas, the completion o f the link between these two rail trails is identified as beneficial for recreation and tourism; and,
Whereas, the completion of this link is consistent with each of the three goals of the Ulster County Non-motorized Transportation Plan and is a portion of “Project 4 Route 299 Bike Demonstration Corridor”; and,
Whereas, the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and Hudson Valley Rail Trail Link Feasibility Study will be essential in any future grant applications to complete this trail.
Now, therefore be it resolved that the Town Board of the Town of Marlborough accepts and adopts the final document entitled “Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and Hudson Valley Rail Trail Link Feasibility Study”; and, moves for its adoption.
And moves for its adoption
