Emilia Teasdale is reporting in The Columbia Paper Columbia County has announced work to construct paved shoulders for pedestrians along State Farm Road in Kinderhook will begin in July. The three-foot-wide paving will begin at the intersection with county Route 28 and continue to the state Route 9/9H traffic circle. County Superintendent of Highways Bernie Kelleher announced the plan to the Kinderhook Town Board at its regular meeting last week. He said paving the roadside will give “people a place to walk.” Kinderhook town Highway Superintendent John Ruchel told the board that approximately 4,000 cars and 60 school buses travel State Farm Road daily during the school year, making it the busiest road in town. Work is slated to begin in July, once school is on summer hiatus. Kelleher said that, weather permitting, it should be a two-day project. Read the full story in The Columbia Paper.
