We the undersigned respectfully request the Town of Altona remove the locked gate at the west end of the Purdy Road in Altona NY. Nobel Environmental Power has installed this gate illegally with what we feel is inaccurate information from town officials. The Purdy Road is a Public Right-of-Way which runs from State Route 190 to the Rand Hill Road. The Purdy Road is and has been a NYS funded secondary snowmobile trail for at least the past ten years. The Purdy Road has been and still is used by hikers, cross-country skiers, snow-shoers, ATVers, mountain bikers and horseback riders. Landowners also use this road to access their property. Please return this Public Right-of-Way back to the tax paying citizens who use this Public Right-of-Way. Remove the locked gate now!

Totally illegal. The town needs to actually stand up to these companies instead of just letting them do whatever they want.

My family uses this trail every single winter for snowmobiling. Leave it open for the rest of us! Ridiculous.

Seen gates like this pop up all over lately. Total nonsense. If its a public right of way it stays open end of story.

We have hiked Purdy road forever. It belongs to the people not some company that wants to lock us out. Fix this.

This road has been open for years. You cant just block off public property because you feel like it. Take that gate down!
