Improving Transit Along I-287: Nyack Forum Thursday

The 1st phase of the Lower Hudson Transit Link is being developed from Suffern to White Plains.

The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) is hosting the second of two Open House events for the Lower Hudson Transit Link (LHTL) from 6-8 p.m. Thursday in Nyack.

The first Open House was hosted on Monday at the White Plains Library in Westchester County.

The first phase of the LHTL is being developed along the I-287 corridor between Suffern to the west and White Plains to the east. The LHTL also includes infrastructure and service enhancements along Route 59 in Rockland County and Route 119 in Westchester County.

Through these enhancements, the LHTL project aims to improve reliability and safety for travelers, improve the availability, accessibility and quality of transit services in the Lower Hudson Valley, and reduce travel times along the I-287 corridor for all travelers.

The public is encouraged to drop in anytime during the Open House. Attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about the project and the environmental assessment NYSDOT is conducting.
