Go Slow, Keep Dust Low

Welcome Spring...finally!  

It was certainly a long, cold, snowy Winter and I think it's safe to say we are all glad that Spring is finally here.  Now it's time to start cleaning up our yards, shorelines, and roadsides of the debris that was tucked away under all the piles of snow.

The Town kept up with all the snowfall we received, making two, three, or sometimes more passes with the plow around the lake at every storm.  With that, the road received a generous helping of sand warding off the tricky slick spots.  Now we have a hefty accumulation of sand and fine gravel left on the road, and on a dry day, a quick passing vehicle really kicks up quite the dust cloud.

We have been in contact with the Town about cleanup of the road sand; however it may be a month or two before a sweep, collection, or both will happen.  In the meanwhile, keeping our speed down will help reduce that huge unhealthy dust cloud.

As you can see above, a clever anonymous lake neighbor also hopes their sign sends the same message.

And this car says it all...

I obviously live at Duane Lake

We hope to see you, our friends and neighbors at the Duane Lake Association Earth Day Clean-up, Saturday, April 18th at 9am.  The clean-up crew meets at the Duane Lake sign by the Schoharie Turnpike connection (the same one in the picture).  Details coming soon.
