RESOLUTION CONCERNING WEEKS ROAD REALIGNMENT PROJECT
RESOLUTION NO.: 91, 96
INTRODUCED BY: Mrs. Connie Goedert
WHO MOVED ITS ADOPTION
SECONDED BY: Mr. Theodore Turner
WHEREAS, on April 3, 1995, a hearing with regard to the Weeks
Road Realignment proposed public project, was held, and
WHEREAS, following the aforesaid public hearing, on or about
July 10, 1995, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury made
certain determinations and findings, generally including, but not
limited to, the location of the project, the fact that portions of
Weeks Road and the existing intersection with Route 9 would
continue to exist and be located in the same place, the fact that
the realignment project would establish a new Weeks Road
intersection directly across from Sweet Road and improve safety and
flow of traffic, that there were no practical alternative locations
for the project since the purpose of the project was to realign
Weeks Road to create a four-way intersection with Sweet Road, and
that the project would generally have a positive flow on traffic
and benefit adjoining property owners, as well as other properties
in the area, and
WHEREAS, the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has
undertaken to further review, study, and investigate the aforesaid
Weeks Road Realignment Project, particularly during the month of
December of 1995, which the Town Board felt would be one of the
busier times of the year for that area of Town, and
WHEREAS, as a result of further review and discussions, the
Town Board of the Town of Queensbury has made certain additional
determinations and findings,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT
RESOLVED, that the Town Board of the Town of Queensbury hereby
determines and finds as follows:
1. That it is not aware of any accidents that have occurred
in the area of Weeks Road and Route 9 intersection;
2. That there does not appear to be the kind of problems
with traffic flow as appears to have been initially determined;
3. That there would be serious impacts on the area adjacent
to Sweet Road, and the Town Board does not feel that the traffic
conditions warrant the imposition of the aforesaid impacts to Sweet
Road at this time;
4. That the proposed improvement, an addition of an
intersection of Sweet Road and Weeks Road to Route 9, has not, in
the Town Board's opinion, been demonstrated to be of a necessity in
terms of traffic flow or public safety; and
BE IT FURTHER,
RESOLVED, in view of the additional determinations and
findings, and based on all available information, the Town Board
notes that the project has not been undertaken and should not be
undertaken at this time, and Resolution No. 387, 95 is hereby
rescinded.
Duly adopted this 5th day of February, 1996 by the following
vote:
AYES: Mrs. Pulver, Mr. Turner, Mrs. Goedert, Mr. Champagne
