HIKER PARKING SHUTTLE
& GARDEN PARKING LOT INFORMATION
2012

Once again the Town of Keene will manage the Garden Parking Lot in Keene Valley in accordance with an Adopt a Resource Agreement with New York State Department of Conservation. The Town of Keene will also serve as operator of a public transportation system that will serve hikers and the general public.

This program was initiated in response to the illegal and unsafe parking that prevailed. The parking fees pay for attendants on weekends, winter snowplowing of the Garden, Rooster Comb and Roaring Brook Parking Lots, portable toilets, and information kiosks.

Commencing Friday, April 28th, a fee of $7.00 (Canadian @ current exchange rate) per calendar day, 12: 01 AM tomidnight, will be assessed for parking at the Garden Lot.

The daily fee will continue through the month of October.

An attendant will be at the Garden Lot from 1:00 PM until 7:oo PM on Fridays, and from 7:00 AM until 7:00 PM on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays during this period. Town Employees and DEC Rangers will monitor the lot during the week.

The shuttle will operate from the Southwest corner of Marcy Field, off Route 73, when the Garden Parking Lot is full, beginning with two Holiday Weekends in May, from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, as follows: Victoria Day Weekend - May 19th, 20th & 21st
Memorial Day Weekend - May 26th, 27th & 28th

Shuttle operation will resume on Saturday, June 23rd, operating on Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays. October 14th will be the last day of operation.

A fee of $5.00 American (Canadian @ current exchange rate) will be charged per person for a round trip.

Thank you for your continued support in this project. We hope that reasonable management will ensure continued access
to the High Peaks Wilderness.
