Cold Spring planning board considers formal note that state responses to YourTrail questions were inadequate
Summary
Planning Board members said the state's replies to the board's YourTrail/George Trail questions appeared to 'mirror' their comments and not engage meaningfully; members discussed drafting a short addendum to note the board's concerns for the public record.
Members of the Village of Cold Spring Planning Board reviewed written responses to the board's inquiries about the YourTrail/George Trail project and concluded the replies largely restated the original information without substantive engagement. One board member said the responses 'mirrored our more complaints' and that it 'seems to be a lot of kind of box checking.'
The board discussed options including drafting a brief follow‑up addendum to their original comment letter to state that the board had reviewed the responses and found them unsatisfactory. The suggested addendum would be short and intended to put the board's view in the public record so that future reviewers see both the board's initial comments and the board's judgment of the agency response. Board members agreed there was no immediate deadline and recommended members interested in drafting language first identify the specific unanswered points they want recorded.
