MAYOR’S UPDATE ~ 11/24/14

At a meeting with the representatives from the New NY Bridge Team,
last Thursday, November 20, 2014, members of the Tappan Zee Bridge
Task Force and I learned that the terminus of the Shared Use Path
(SUP) will be at the corner of South Broadway and Cornelison because
using Interchange 10 for the terminus is not practical and is too
expensive.
 
I am outraged that this appears to have been decided without an
opportunity for the residents of South Nyack and our elected
representatives to review other options for the terminus of the SUP
as promised for so many months by both the New NY Bridge Team and
state representatives. 
 
Last March there was a public meeting where the proposal to locate
the terminus at Cornelison and South Broadway was thoroughly
reviewed.  Many residents expressed concerns about the levels of
vehicle, bike, and pedestrian traffic which would lead to an
increased demand for parking, adversely impacting the quality of
life, and compromising safety at a busy intersection that includes
the entrance ramp onto the Tappan Zee Bridge.
 
Following the March meeting, members of the Task Force and I
immediately began to press for a full review of other options for the
terminus.  Numerous suggestions from residents had been submitted to
the New NY Bridge Team with the promise of reviewing them at a public
meeting.  An overview of these proposals had been presented to the
Task Force in early October at which time we were told that they
needed to be further developed before being shared at a public
meeting.  After waiting for months, and being told that all options
were being considered, we were told on November 20th that the Shared
Use Path would end at Cornelison and South Broadway.    At a follow
up meeting the Task Force members were unanimous in being as outraged
as I was at this news.  We decided that that we must meet with New
York State officials to demand a full review of other options".
 
This morning I have contacted Governor Cuomo's office to schedule a
meeting.  We must go to Albany and fight for the safety and welfare
of South Nyack.

I will hold a press conference in front of South Nyack Village Hall
on Tuesday, November 25 at 2:00pm.
