New York Needs Your Help

By Idy Perl

Ever since the shared path on the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge was completed, bicycle and runner traffic has increased along the US 9W corridor between the bridge and the George Washington Bridge.

The New York Metropolitan Transportation Council is exploring the possibility of creating a walkway to connect the two bridges and make it easier for pedestrians to get from one to the other in order to cross back over the Hudson River.

The NY Metropolitan Transportation Council is having several pop-up events over the weekend for residents to share their ideas for ways to make a Palisades Shared Use Path to connect the two bridges between the 20 miles that separate them.

The pop-up events will take place at:

Saturday, August 3

9am-11am at The 9W Market

12pm-2pm at Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, Rockland Landing

 

Sunday, August 4

9am-11am at George Washington Bridge

12pm-2pm at Palisades Park Ranger Station in Alpine, NJ
