I would be surprised if the Mayor of Hudson and the Town of Greenport Supervisor weren't given a head's up. If not, that would be a major faux pas. Here are the detailed plans complete with the signs for truck detours through Hudson and their placement: https://on.ny.gov/2nc1TvoMan_About_Townhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03010261798508057318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-46329183052657848392018-08-05T18:17:08.510-04:002018-08-05T18:17:08.510-04:00Didi Barrett was given the opportunity to have the...Didi Barrett was given the opportunity to have the trucks rerouted several years ago when we met with her, after we were referred to her by a NYS Senator on the Transportation Committee. She failed to follow through. Let her make up for that blunder by contacting people she knows in NYS to get this changed. As a historic City with fragile road infrastructure, surely this is a terrible idea that can be changed if the right people are contacted. Hmmm. Is this an election year?
