Mike, and all reading this post... This now makes almost a DOZEN
trees that have caused issues along the Empire Trail or the Erie
Canal Waterway since it opened on July 4, 2020. Trees are one of
the big issues this season, along with keeping the Canal Locks
working
[attachimg=1]
That's about 8 weeks time, and the New York State Canal
Corporation is averaging more than 1 tree related issue per week
so far this year.
Sadly this Facebook group, and it's leadership, like Ms. Agte,
still fail to see the signs, fail to understand the real
problems and are still fighting AGAINST fixing the Erie Canal &
it's dangerous issues with trees. I guess when a tree finally
falls and kills someone, this Stop the Canal Clear-cut group
just might take note and stop this charade they are playing,
fighting public safety by saying "shade is cool". Shade trees
falling on people really isn't cool at all, it's deadly.
Unfortunately, the unlucky person who gets crushed by that
falling trees, will most likely be blamed for "not watching out
where they were going" by the people who subscribe to this
Facebook group. The group's leaders will somehow try to also
blame the NYS Canal Corporation for "not doing their job", even
though they have tried to stand in their way for the past 3
years, and are telling others to do just that even today.
After all there is NOTHING wrong with trees along the Erie Canal
to this group, despite any and ALL evidence that may be
contrary.

For those who can't quite understand the whole issue with
invasive vegetation, namely trees, along the Erie Canal and NYS

fall onto the Empire Trail, and they topple into the waterway,
prompting a Notice to Mariners as a Channel Obstruction issue.
