ROCHESTER DEMOCRAT AND CHRONICLE Thursday, Feb. 4, 1960 27 Southern Tier Expressway Route Revealed by State BATH, Feb. 3 A $1 million dollar per mile, divided highway, with controlled access, similar to the New York State Thruway will be constructed across the Southern Tier of New York State with eventual completion slated For 1980. Plans for the super highway, known as the Southern Tier Expressway, designed for high speed travel were unfolded today before a special, meeting of the Steuben Board of Supervisors here. The plans were outlined by William J.

Dennis, assistant district engineer of the State Department of Public Works. The route will be an extension of the Rout 17 arterial highway development program. However, that portion of Route 17 westward from Painted Post through Addison, Jasper and Greenwood to the Allegany County Line will not be included in the new program, Dennis stated. At Painted Post the expressway will parallel Route 15 but on the opposite side of the Conhocton River. a point near the Antlers Restaurant about four miles north of here the new expressway will parallel Route 15 again.

Also near the Antlers where Route 15 intersects Route 70 the expressway will turn west and parallel Route 70 to a point about one mile north of the Hooker garage on the HornellArkport Road. To Cross River Engineer Tells Plans The expressway will cross Routes 36 and 21, the Canisteo River and enter Allegany County at a point near Almond. Dennis said the new route was chosen because it serves at least 20,000 more persons than any other plan considered in the four year study, and at no point is the maximum grade over 3 per cent. Also, by combining the Route 17 or Southern Tier expressway with the Route 15 expressway for about 20 miles from Painted Post to Antlers Inn, a saving of $25 million is anticipated, Dennis said. Also maximum elevation on this route 300 feet lower than any other route, thus alleviating the snow and ice removal problem.

It also was explained that the valleys in the Canisteo-Hornell-Arkport areas have more potential for industrial development than the Jasper-Greenwood areas. Dennis said the present Route 17 from Painted Post westward will still exist as a state highway and will be developed to the modern standards adequate for the traffic using it. Some Oppose Routes Several representatives from CASTILE YOUTH HONORED-Roger G. Van Slyke, 17, of Castile, at left, was one of three persons receiving citation for bravery, presented by Raymond Aldon vice commander, on behalf of the Perry VFW post. The youth, James the Addison, Greenwood and Jasper areas were present at the supervisors meeting and expressed general disapproval of the proposed routes, maintaining it would leave those comm' isolated and would hinder industrial development After leaving Steuben County the new route would be constructed, near Cuba, the Salamanca, communities Randolph and Falconer to its terminus at Lake Erie.

The district engineer said the timetable for the multimillion dollar project depends on the availability of funds. He said, "At present we are considering the high traffic areas and work is being done on a stretch between the Broome County line and Owego, and a stretch through Waverly. "It probably will be about 10 years before the Bath area is reached." Dennis said. To Amend Law He stated that bids for the improvement of stretches of Route 17 between Painted Post and Addison were to be opened Tolsman of Buffalo and Miss Patricia Tolsma, also of Buffalo, were cited for quick thinking and bravery in saving Guard Buell, 88, of Perry from drowning last summer in Silver Lake. The VFW post decided the trio should be honored.

in Albany today. The purpose of today's meeting was to consider an amendment to the highway in connection with the proposed expressway. Dennis said approximately six miles of state highway will have to be built in Steuben County in conjunction with the expressway project. A two-mile stretch in the city of Corning to serve as a by-pass of Dennison Parkway, plus a stretch of about four miles north of Hornell to serve as a connection tion from present Route 70 to the Almond-West Almond Road will have to be constructed. Under law, when mileage is added to the state system, a comparable mileage must be removed and that is where the Steuben County board must act.

The state is requesting certain roads, now on the unbuilt state system, but which are currently county roads, be reverted to the county. The routes specified are portions of the Rexville-Troupsburg Center, Prattsburg Italy Hill Woodhull-Chenango Settlement roads to the Pennsylvania state line near Austinburg. The supervisors must amend their highway law in order to transfer the county highways off the state books. To Parallel Route 15 With relation to the Bath area, the new expressway will pass Bath on the south side of the Conhocton River, then approach a parallel course with the present Route 15 at a point near Veterans AdministraCenter about one mile north of the Bath village limits. On the motion of Rathbone Supervisor James Crawford the board empowered its chairman, Robert McDowell of Cohocton, to name a committee to study overall program, including the holding of meetings and public hearings.

McDowell said, "No snap judgment will be made on this. It will take a long time and much thought." McDowell did not say when he will appoint the committee.
