Residents encouraged to complete survey

Dutchess County has launched a survey as part of its study to determine the feasibility of constructing a 13-mile trail along a dormant rail line running from the Beacon waterfront to Hopewell Junction. 

The county’s Transportation Council will develop design concepts for public review and feedback; a final report, expected in 2025, will include a recommended trail concept with cost estimates. The survey is online at bit.ly/rail-trail-survey.

Enough with the rail trails. Dutchess County needs to fix its provision of emergency services like fire and police. It’s all about priorities: life over recreation. [via Facebook]

Safer running and biking routes lead to fewer crashes while improving fitness, diminishing obesity and reducing noise and air pollution. [via Facebook]
