The North Elba town board may try to move forward with plans for building a recreational trail alongside the rail corridor between Lake Placid and Saranac Lake. Town Supervisor Roby Politi said the board probably doesn’t have enough money to create the trail all the way to Saranac Lake yet along the corridor, which is where the Adirondack Scenic Railroad runs several daily trips during the summer season, but there are money and permits enough to get it to Ray Brook. “You need to either get on with it or not, so we have the money sitting there, and if we can work out the engineering, I don’t see any reason why we can’t go as far as we can with what we’ve got,” Politi said. The idea comes in light of news that nonprofit organization AdkActio.
