County eyes airport taxi regulations Lawmakers may seek designated company for Plattsburgh International By Elizabeth Izzo STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | As the number of local taxi companies continues to rise, county officials are considering designating an official cab company for Plattsburgh International Airport and imposing regulations on cabs that pick up passengers there. The regulations would likely be modeled after the City of Plattsburgh’s taxi policies, according to Airport Manager Christopher Kreig, which include limits on the maximum fare cabs can charge within city boundaries, requires cabs prominently post fare prices and requires taxis to register for a license to operate there.

TAXI BOOM

Between 2015 and 2017, the number of taxi cabs licensed to operate in the City of Plattsburgh increased by about 46 percent, from 28 to 41 vehicles, according to licensing reports obtained by The Sun. » Taxi Cont. on pg. 12

STA FF W RITER

PLATTSBURGH | The City of Plattsburgh will move forward toward completing the Saranac River Trail. The Plattsburgh Common Council last week voted to reject a

proposal that would’ve authorized Mayor Colin Read to decline $1.1 million in state funding toward the third phase of the trail. The measure was initially proposed after the state Department of Transportation (DOT) recommended the city hold off on the project, in part because the agency had concerns about the city’s ability to complete the phase by the state-mandated timeline. After initially backing the resolution to decline the funding, Read last Thursday advised councilors to vote the resolution down, citing a conversation he had with a DOT official about extending the deadline to complete the work. » River trail Cont. on pg. 9
