UPDATE ON THE 34 dENISON RD./Ridgewood 75 lot SUBDIVISION PLAN
At the 12/19/23 meeting the Planning Board gave final approval (with one no vote from outgoing member Craig Shamlian) to the 34 Denison Rd/Ridgewood 75 lot subdivision. The site is on a steeply sloped heavily forested 100 acres, one of the very last large undeveloped sites in our Town. Despite many local residents commenting, and additional legal arguments about procedural and substantive errors, residents’ concerns were disregarded by our Planning Board members.

COLONIE has a final opportunity to create a bike path connector, linking the mohawk-hudson bike-hike trail with the existing county-wide system
In the works for more than 20 years, all that's left to accomplish this is a connection from Rt 7 near Keeler's Campus/Cumberland Farms down to River Road.
This would be a win-win for everyone, a boon to local families, a benefit to nearby businesses, and a major recreational enhancement for our town. Learn the facts here.

Ever want to look back at documents related to projects that came before the Planning Board in the past? It can be hard to do without filing a Freedom of Information Act request with the town and sometimes going to town offices to pay for and pick up materials.
In 2018 we started to archive all of the materials posted by the Planning Board for meetings, so residents can easily look back at project details without the hassle.
