Why hasn DEC conducted a boundary survey of the property they are buying?
The Genesee Valley Greenway is a 90-mile former canal and railroad corridor dating back to the 1830s. Early on in the planning stage of this project, it became obvious that a full boundary line survey would be prohibitively expensive and time consuming. DEC survey crews have conducted a centerline survey of the rail bed, using modern Global Positioning System (GPS) coordinates as well as the historic canal and railroad valuation maps, which show boundary lines and original stationing points. Pins have been set in the ground at intervals along the corridor and correlated with the original stationing wherever possible. Property owners with boundary questions should first consult their own property survey map. DEC’s survey maps have been finalized and will shortly be filed in the respective County Clerk’s Offices for public reference. In the meantime, owners with specific questions may contact the DEC Real Property Offices. In DEC Region 8 contact Doug Best at (716) 226-5403. In DEC Regio
