Reconstruction of Station Road urged as wartime era ends
Village leaders once planned widening and straightening of Station Road to ease bottlenecks linking to South Buckhout and South Astor Streets and a future manufacturing hub near the Croton Aqueduct. The proposal lapsed after a 1930s election, but current growth and traffic justify reopening surveys. Also cited is an Adirondack Record editorial arguing blackout tests are now unnecessary as Britain lifts curbs and the war shifts.
