Bill Passed in NYS Legislature to Improve Route 303
By: Rockland Daily Staff
Senate Bill S8930—which authorizes and directs the
department of transportation to conduct a study on proposed improvements of
state route 303 in the town of Orangetown, Rockland County— has passed the New
York State Senate successfully.
The sponsor of the bill, Senator Reichlin-Melnick, said: “This bill is long overdue. Route 303 was
built more than 80 years ago, and while Orangetown has seen major population
growth since then, there have been few significant improvements on this
roadway. With more warehouses and light industry coming to the 303 corridor,
the time is now for the Department of Transportation to prioritize improvements
so that people in Orangetown have a safe path from their homes and their work.”
This stretch of Route 303 has become known as a dangerous
spot.
Orangetown Supervisor Teresa Kenny recalled a terrible accident involving her niece, close to two years ago, as she expressed her thanks to the senator. I want to thank Senator Elijah Reichlin-Melnick for ... asking New York State to conduct a comprehensive safety study of the Route 303 Corridor, which passed today. Orangetown residents need this study so that improvements can be made to make Route 303 a safer road for all of us to travel.”
