Dubbed "America's Most Scenic Highway" in 1967 by Parade Magazine, the Greenies and their hand-puppets in Albany want to keep the Adirondack Northway (I-87) that way, despite it being a major thoroughfare between the US and Canada. Why should they worry about a few (frozen) dead motorists when those dastardly cell-phone towers might ruin the scenery?

Nearly a year after a Brooklyn man froze to death on the Adirondack Northway because he couldn't get cellphone service...wow. wonder what they did with all the bodies of those who died before there were cellphones?

I lived in the Adirondacks for years, with no cell phone, driving considerable distances in cold weather on isolated roads where one could be in a survival situation very quickly if you had an accident or broke down. So, I always carried a survival bag full of extra warm clothing and footwear plus other necessaries for surviving in the snow and subzero cold. I also kept items for any passengers I was with, just in case.
It's not the lack of cell phone towers that kills. It's the lack of preparedness.

How about the people who don’t have cell phones?
You’re getting into the liberal “If it saves one life” mind set.
Sometimes life just sucks for the unlucky.

Two words that describes the entire state, I know because I escaped from there in ‘76.

With family and business in Montreal I make the drive a few times a year. I always carry a fully stocked cold weather survival bag. And, I make a call going into the stretch and once I'm out so that, should something go wrong, I'm not waiting for twelve hours before someone realizes I'm in trouble.
Years ago there were land line phones every quarter mile. The ride is beautiful but effin scary in winter weather.

The holdup apparently has been an unholy cycle of bureaucratic inertia and corporate hesitation - the kind that effective executive leadership could break.Who ever said that this child panderer could provide "effective executive leadership". I could see Spitzer was a train wreck from his AG days.

Spitzer makes me long for the good old days of George Pataki.
