Sherburne Wheelers discuss expanding trails with state, local officials
SHERBURNE – Representatives from various levels of government met with local organization leaders July 27 to discuss building tourism throughout upstate New York.
Sherburne Wheeler President and delegate for Region 7 of New York State Off-highway Recreational Vehicle Association Inc. Lex Danyluk, his wife and secretary Donna, and member Dara Arnister met Friday July 27 with Executive Director of New York State Power Dealers Association Bob Ski, Regional Representative for Governor Spitzer’s office Kevin McCabe, Town of Sherburne Supervisor Harry Conley and Village Trustee Bob Smith.
Throughout the hour-long meeting topics covered included expanding a trail system for all terrain vehicle riders into Norwich and Edmeston. The Sherburne Wheeler club currently rides a circular loop system trail and hoped to present its expansion of it to local and state officials.
Expanding the system would mean more ATV owners would want to register their vehicles here and take advantage of a trail system. “In turn these riders would be spending their money locally and would help to promote lodging, dining and other small businesses in the county,” the group said.
Ski explained it took roughly 30 years for snowmobilers to get the public involved. “ATV enthusiasts have only been doing this for the past three or so years, so we are just beginning this venture,” he said. “We know it will take time.”
Conley expressed his concern that some citizens might be opposed to the project, saying, “We don’t want to open something the majority of the public does not want.” Ski said, “These riders will be spending money in our own backyards.”
The Sherburne Wheelers hope to spread the word and build support for their idea by hosting trail rides throughout August. Each weekend local politicians will be on hand to take to the trails and see what the sport has to offer.
“The main purpose is to show these politicians where we ride, how we ride and how we respect the environment and landowners property,” said Donna. She also stated that the club would like to show their guests what it is like to ride as part of a club that is structured and organized. “More importantly, we want them to have a clearer understanding of ATV riding when the bills come before them to build a state-wide trail system and how this would benefit the state economically.”
Senator James Seward was in attendance Saturday for a short time to take a trail ride with roughly 16 ATV riders from throughout New York State. Assemblyman Clifford Crouch will be on hand Aug. 11, Assemblyman Pete Lopez will be in the area Aug.18 and the last politician to take to the trails will be Assemblymen Gary Finch, coming Sunday Aug. 26.
