June 10, 199381 N.Y.2d 1047

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that a municipality is not estopped from certifying a road as abandoned after six years of nonuse despite having previously certified the road as a highway for state aid, because estoppel is unavailable against a governmental agency absent an unusual factual situation.
