They have provided the information to the DEC for inclusion into the UMP process. Wilmington will be appointing a Town resident as MTB Coordinator. Steve E. to investigate whether this measure could be used on trails on NYS lands. Paul C. said that effort would be sufficient so we won t have to redo the same activity for MTB if available on the same trails. Wilmington could do the same.
Local input is important.
Public Meetings on UMPs in last 2 weeks, along the Thruway corridor and downstate generated a lot of comments, some negative, regarding mixed use. Seems like some hikers don t want to ever share trails with other users. Any citizen can flag a trail and notify the Forester working on the UMP involved in that area. As of now 16 UMPs are at the stage that DEC needs MTB Trail input. Please let us if know you concur with the minutes, even if you have no changes.
