Schuler, Commissioner May 25, 1973 Mr. John Austin Town Supervisor Town of Queensbury 27 Bay @ Haviland Road, R.D. 1 RE: SH 1666 Route 9L Warren County Dear Mr. Austin: This will acknowledge receipt of Resolution 106 regarding traffic hazards along Route 9L passed by the Queensbury Town Board on April 12, 1973. I have read the resolution as well as all the newspaper articles pub- lished regarding the section of Route 9L in question. When this department proposes projects for construction, they have to be justified. Because of this an extensive accident study was undertaken by my office when we started to receive the newspaper --j clippings and the resolution-expressing your concern with Route 9L1. All these clippings referred to. many fatalities, personal injury and property damage resulting from innumerable automobile accidents. I am attaching a six year accident diagram covering the area on Route 9L from Rolling Ridge Road to Haviland Road. This accident history was prepared from State Police records, Warren County Sheriff' s records and Motor Vehicle records which will account for all accidents on this section of Route 9L. A total of 14 accidents have taken place in this area in the past six years. In analyzing this data, we have determined that Route 9L in this area has an accident rate of approximately 1. 5 which is less than half of the average accident rate for a rural two lane highway. Factual accident data is all that we have to justify a project. A rate such as the one mentioned above will make it extremely to justify a project on Route 9L. Since I share your concern, I would appreciate your help in reviewing the accident data attached to see if this office has overlooked anything. In the meantime, we will look at the existing signing in this area and improve it to the extent possible. a If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me ax 457-7187.

Public Heat*ng closed: 8: 17 The following letter was read: May 30, 1973 Traffic Signal Request Route 149 & Bay Road Warren County W.J. Lennon, Resident Engineer, Warren County, Region One C.E. Carlson, Regional Director, Region One, Room 307 Attached hereto is a resolution from the Town of Queensbury petitioning this Department to install a traffic signal at the intersection of 278 Route 149 and County Road 7. Although a similar request in the past has been rejected, I believe that the matter should be given serious consideration. Adirondack Community College and new housing subdivisions in the immediate area have served to generate an increased volume of traffic. Also, the sight distance at the intersection is , at the very best, minimal. Unless I am otherwise advised, I will assume that Mr. Kelly' s office will answer this resolution. /s/ Resident Engineer WJL/mmp cc: J.

Witham, behalf by Mr. Donald Chase. We are of the opinion, as a result of research and attorney study, that the causway Bridge Highway between the N. Queensbury Firehouse and Ridge Road has never been legally abandoned. Mr. George Kurosaka at a recent meeting of the Queensbury Zoning Board of Appeals, when the N. Queensbury Volunteer Rescue Squad was granted a less than required set back, stated that the Causeway Bridge Highway was indeed a highway. .J There is a building upon the East end of this highway as it connects with the Ridge Road. Of course in this case the rights of adverse possission are not applicable against a government entity and the build- ing would have to be moved. This highway, the Causway leads to and across the southerly sector ) of a parcel of property our family owns . We request the Causway Highway be as soon as conveniently possible put in good driving condition. We respectfully offer the services of our attorney to work with yours if necessary.
