FILE - In this July 26, 2013 file photo, Dick Beamish of Saranac Lake, a member of the Adirondack Recreational Trail Advocates, points out a deteriorating section of railroad tracks on a causeway across Lake Clear in Saranac Lake, N.Y. He hopes the state will decide to tear up the tracks and create a 90-mile biking, hiking and snowmobiling trail from Old Forge to Lake Placid, in Saranac Lake, NY. Backers of a proposed 90-mile biking, hiking and snowmobiling trail following a rail bed through the heart of the Adirondacks are frustrated at the Cuomo administration’s slow pace deciding whether to open a review needed to move forward. At issue is whether to spend millions of dollars on track repairs to extend a scenic railroad or replace the tracks with a multi-use trail on the state-owned corridor from Old Forge to Lake Placid.
