Scenic Byways:
First open meeting to consider scenic byways study was held. About fIfty people
attended. Some members of the advisory committee complained that "no task was
charged to the advisory committee." The advisory committee was formed to act as
sounding board, liaison, and influencers of the public.
At the meeting group "B" discussed what happened in the past when scenic byways
designation was pursued. The town board considered this too.
Two members have been added to the advisory committee: Robert T. Fitzpatrick, Jr. and
Patricia E. McIntyre.
A January meeting of the advisory committee will be scheduled to consider how to
engage the public. A call-in cable TV show on the subject will be scheduled if possible.
