Current Community Issues
Notices & Projects
Items the Association is actively following with local and county agencies.
Road safety & accessibility
The radar speed sign installed last year near the roadway camps toward Mineville is now a year-round sign. The Association has also asked the Essex County Highway Department to install accessible roadway signage east of the causeway.
Causeway bridge replacement
The Association has asked Essex County to consider accelerating replacement of the current causeway culvert bridge. The earlier bridge provided a wider opening for drainage; both county officials and DEC have acknowledged concerns with the current configuration.

Sunset at Lincoln Pond
A kingfisher skims the water —
the water reflecting the hills and sky.
Pools of pink and purple. Now the colors fade.
The hills take on a deep blue.
The water becomes shimmering glass — shimmering — moving —
Blue clouds, now, and darker water — a bird calls in the trees behind me.
Now all is muted and quiet,
Colors, water — all.
