In October, Gossips reported that the trailhead for the Empire State Trail, at Second and Dock streets, had been completed.
Now, in January, the installation of the trail markers has begun. Within the past day or so, three markers have appeared along Allen Street. Two on the south side of the street, one just above Front Street and the other at the corner of Third Street, and one on the north side of the street just below Second.
As a reminder, the route of the Empire State Trail through Hudson is this: Coming from the north, it enters the city on Harry Howard Avenue at Hudson High School and continues to the Dugway. There it follows the Dugway, Mill Street, and Dock Street to Front Street, where it makes a left turn and crosses the city along Front Street to Allen Street. It makes another left turn and follows Allen Street to Third Street and exits the city by way of Third Street and Route 9G.

Not a pretty route
ReplyDeleteI don't know what the English translation of DUGWAY is, but to anyone riding a road bicycle (for which the trail is intended) it is known as a nightmare. In its present condition it is not appropriate for a thin-tired bicycle and it is not wide enough. Who is going to redo it, the city or State? BILL HUSTON
