       Can You Spot the Difference between Cleared & Uncleared
       Embankments

       Everyone talking about the Embankment Integrity Program along
       the NYS Canal Systems  in a negative light seems to focus on
       trees and how "devasating" the affect was to nature and the
       views along the Canal Trail and Waterway.
       Well there seems to be a BIG difference between what those
       fighting this NY Canals public safety project imagine compared
       to the reality after clearing.
       Take a look at the map view below of Work Zone 30 Embankment
       from Redman Rd headed west.

       You can see where the map is marked between the area cleared and
       uncleared.
       Now let's  look at that same area in a photograph from the
       waterway.
       [attachimg=2]
       Did you see any devastation?
       Did you see where nature had been turned upside down?
       Could you even see where the trees next to the trail started and
       ended with the space cleared from Embankment 29 Rehabilitation?
       The reality is much different than the hype that has been
       created calling this Embankment Dam Repair a "clear cutting".
       The canal is not being stripped clean of trees, only the trees
       causing unsafe embankments are being removed... nothing more.
