Whiteface Highway plans move forward
SHAUN KITTLE
RAY BROOK - As the Department of Transportation moves forward with plans to rehabilitate the Whiteface Mountain Veterans Memorial Highway, another state agency is making sure the project doesn't negatively affect the environment.
State Adirondack Park Agency Regulatory Programs Director Rick Weber told the APA board Thursday that the DOT has completed its design of the highway.
"It's been an unusual process because typically review staff look at a plan after it's formulated," Weber said. "What's unique about this is we were actually working side-by-side with the DOT as they were designing the project. We were providing, interactively as plans were being developed, our comments. We tried to help shape where things needed to be shaped to really be in check with the environment."
