RESOLUTION NO. 232 of 2006 DATED: June 27, 2006

WHEREAS, the Village of Fultonville has an opportunity to apply to the 2006 Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP) for funds to provide sidewalks and beautification improvements along the north side of Riverside Drive, along the banks of the historic Erie (Barge) Canal, and

WHEREAS, the existing sidewalk on the south side of Riverside Drive, with oversize curb/sidewalk cutouts allowing for the Thruway bound trucks to enter and exits creates a major safety hazard for pedestrians and bicyclists, and

WHEREAS, installing sidewalks on the north side of Riverside Drive, along the bank of the Barge Canal, would enhance safety, encourage pedestrian travel, connect the Village's major commercial/industrial area to the Main Street retail business district, and provide access to the Canal and its beautiful vistas, and

WHEREAS, the Village is seeking support of their written proposal to the TEP program to strengthen their application,

RESOLVED, the Montgomery County Board of Supervisors does hereby wholeheartedly support the Village of Fultonville's application to the NYS Department of Transportation, 2006 Transportation Enhancement Program, and requests that the application be looked favorably upon.
