KNOWLESVILLE – New York State Sen. Rob Ortt and Assemblyman Steve Hawley will call on the Assembly majority to pass a bill that would prevent further closure of bridges over the Erie Canal and other canals within New York State.
Ortt and Hawley will discuss the negative impacts and hardships of a closed or restricted canal bridge this afternoon when several others will join them in front of the Knowlesville Lift Bridge, which could face closure in the near future.
The legislation (S.2658-A/A.7242-A) would close unreasonable loopholes in the canal law and hold New York State responsible for maintaining and repairing canal infrastructure before canal bridges and lift bridges fall into disrepair and are forced to close. The bill has passed in the state Senate, but currently sits idle in the Assembly.
