Due to the Henry W. DuBois bike path in New Paltz not being finished, barricades have been placed at every cross-street along the bike path.
According to a post on the town’s website, “Although the path looks to be mostly finished and the construction equipment has been moved, the path has yet to be accepted by the town due to accessibility issues for town equipment to maintain the path during winter events.”
There are also drainage issues, along with the marking out of the grass areas that have no delineation.
“Once all of the design issues are resolved and we are confident that the trail can be maintained using present equipment, the bike path will be accepted and maintained,” stated the town.
“Until then, anyone using the path will do so at their own risk. With a price tag of over $4 million, the town would like to ensure all small and large issues are addressed before taking over responsibility for the path.”
