Environmental agency delays approval of paving

Opponents of widening the Putnam Trail in Van Cortlandt Park see a glimmer of hope as the Department of Environmental Conservation has yet to approve Parks Department plans to pave and expand the nature path. On Aug. 28, a spokesperson from the DEC confirmed that the Parks Department's plan to pave the trail with permeable, non-toxic and flexible material, as recommended by Community Board 8 and outlined in the Parks Department's Master Plan, is pending review and has not yet been approved by DEC.
