Today is Wednesday, November 25th. Last night, the Woodstock Planning Board met to review the RUPCO Final Environmental Impact Statement, or rather the parts of it that had been found problematic to a specific group of people, public excluded. This meeting was closed to public participation but open to public audience. The review began close to 8 PM after nearly two hours on other topics, and continued past 10:15 PM, which is when I left.
On the issue of the "improved" sight line at Playhouse Lane and Route 212, the majority of the board seemed to suggest that since the New York State Department of Transportation had cleared the bushes that previously compromised the sight line, the problem has been eliminated. However, at least one board member pushed to have the sight distance measured again, and so it shall be measured again.
If a car or truck or two are parked legally when this measurement is done, the sight line will be found to be less than that assumed by the majority of the Planning Board. No matter what happens when RUPCO's people measure the sight line again, I will enter into evidence (during the public comment period) the fact that legal parking spaces, recently created by the NYS DOT's placement of signs there, are responsible for the lasting sight line problem at this intersection.
I do not know what is going to happen next. I do not know when the public comment period begins or ends. I will let you know when I find out.
