The town of Queensbury has done the taken the most unbelievable, implausible, out of character action I could have possibly imagined.
They did something to benefit pedestrians and bicyclists!
Those of you who didn't faint at reading these must not be aware that Queensbury is far and away the most hostile municipality in this area toward non-motor vehicles.
Prior to this amazing act, the Queensbury town government had seen biking as something only done inside the fitness center and walking as something down between the fitness center door and the car in the parking lot.
Amazingly, Queensbury built sidewalks on both sides of Route 9 from the Great Escape (or Six Flags Whateveritscallednow) all the way down to the town line where it hooked up with the city of Glens Falls' extensive sidewalk network.
This historic act allows walkers and bikers to transport themselves (you know, to places like THEIR JOBS) without risking life and limb and it increases the amount of sidewalk in the town by approximately 3 million percent.
Correction: I don't publish unsigned comments however an anonymous commenter informed me that the sidewalk work was done by New York state and that (unsurprisingly, I suppose) the town had no role.

I could see that being a state project. It's a major road, used by many tourists on foot between hotels and attractions, so that makes sense. But yeah... 'hurrah' for Q'bury.
