A small group of us rode up 9W to try out the newly repaired Alpine Approach Road this morning. About 500 feet downhill from the police station we found barriers and a sign saying the road is closed (including no bikes).

I was a bit puzzled since I had called the Palisades Park Police Sunday evening and was told that Alpine Approach was open.

As we debated what to do a patrol car drove down from the station and told us that we weren't allowed to go down the hill (although if we had been a minute faster and gone through before he got there he wouldn't have cared). He said he wouldn't give us a ticket even if we went down, but he said that another officer might choose to ticket us.

Registration for this Event is Closed
