Bill > H3296

This bill directs the Division of Capital Asset Management and Maintenance (DCAMM) to open the entire length of Cobble Mountain Road, which runs alongside the Cobble Mountain Reservoir in the towns of Blandford, Granville, and Russell, for recreational purposes including pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian traffic. The road will be open daily from sunrise to sunset, with DCAMM retaining the authority to restrict recreational use during certain hours. The bill requires DCAMM to post visible signage at two specific intersections - one in Blandford (at the intersection of Cobble Mountain, Hayden, and Crooks Roads) and another in Granville (at the intersection of Cobble Mountain and Wildcat Roads) - to indicate the road is open to pedestrian, bicycle, and equestrian traffic and to communicate any use restrictions. This legislation appears to be aimed at increasing public access to the area around the Cobble Mountain Reservoir while maintaining some flexibility for management and safety considerations.
