Tarrytown Action for Broadway

Fall, 2018

Tarrytown's government cut the lane off at Benedict Ave, missing connections to the Old Croton Aqueduct and Main St, plus making people cycling cross Broadway twice for no reason.

Steering Committee's recommendations for Sleepy Hollow & north end of Tarrytown

Tarrytown's government truncated the plan, discouraging people from riding to the Library, C-Town and nearby shops.

Action

The Route 9 study's Steering Committee made excellent recommendations for a compromise plan that would allow people to cycle safely to Washington Irving School, Warner Library and shops. Plus it would stitch together the Old Croton Aqueduct. All without touching parking in Tarrytown's downtown core.

Then Tarrytown officials made significant changes that undermined the connectivity and usability of the path. Here are the points that need to be re-added to the plan:

• The lanes should be 2-way on 1 side of Broadway
• Connect the Old Croton Aqueduct by continuing the lane to Franklin St instead of cutting it off at Benedict Ave
• Better yet, continue the lane north to Main St
• Add the lane from Wildey St to Patriots Park's driveway
