Caroline authorizes NYSDEC permit filing for rail-trail bridge and volunteers continue trail work
Summary
The Town authorized a NYSDEC permit application for a bridge and boardwalk in a wetland related to the Coddington Valley Rail Trail and noted ongoing volunteer efforts to establish a walking path by fall.
The Caroline Town Board on June 18 authorized a permit application to the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation for bridge and boardwalk work in a wetland tied to the Coddington Valley Rail Trail.
Supervisor Witmer moved Resolution 110, which authorizes Zachary Ballard to submit the permit; Councilmember Kate Kelley-Mackenzie seconded the motion and it carried unanimously. The board also noted volunteer activity by the Friends of the Coddington Valley Rail Trail, who are working to establish a walking path on the railbed with an aim to have the path in place by this fall.
The authorization signals municipal support for the trail work while recognizing wetlands permitting is required for bridge and boardwalk components. The permit application will be submitted by the individual named in the resolution; the town did not specify a construction schedule at the meeting.
