We, the undersigned homeowners, taxpayers, voters, and friends of East Mountain Road South in Philipstown, NY -- paved and unpaved sections -- are shocked and disappointed that you have again taken the initiative to pave more on our road. We are asking you to immediately halt all plans to pave further.
Why is this important?
Also against further paving are other locals and visitors to the mountain who appreciate walking or scenic driving on a dirt road along the northern edge of Fahnestock Park. We all admire our dirt roads and spend our money in town.
We are concerned about the danger of more accidents from faster-driving on paved roads and the destruction of a cultural legacy of unpaved roads that brings tourists and investors to the Hudson Highlands.
We very much hope you will respect the wishes of your constituents and do no more paving on East Mountain Road South. Thank you!
