SARATOGA SPRINGS – An online petition, launched by The Saratoga County Chamber of Commerce asks Amtrak to allow bikes on trains between NYC and Canada

"Allowing bikes on Amtrak trains between New York City and Montreal is a common sense idea that is good for our environment and local economy, as it would further promote Saratoga and its many bike trails as a premier destination for 'green travel.' Saratoga Springs is home to some terrific cycling trails, so it is logical to request that Amtrak allow bikes on its trains running between New York City and Montreal so travelers can enjoy all that our local great outdoors have to offer,” said Sen. Marchione, one of the petition’s supporters.  

The petition is available for public viewing here.

COLONIE - One of the northbound lanes of the area's main north-south interstate highway has reopened, but the other two remain closed because of delays at a bridge renovation project.
    
The state Department of Transportation says the left lane on the bridge carrying Interstate 87, the Adirondack Northway, over the Mohawk river reopened around noon Monday. The center and right lanes on Thaddeus Kosciuszko  Bridge have been closed since before 6 a.m.
    
DOT officials say the closure was caused by delays in securing the old bridge deck with steel plates. There's no indication when the other lanes would reopen.
    
Northbound traffic is being diverted off the highway to nearby Route 9.
    
A $29 million project to replace the bridge's decking began this past weekend on the span's northbound side.
