Rockland County to Host Public Workshop on Safety Study for Routes 303 and 304
Rockland County and the Town of Clarkstown are inviting residents to take part in a major public planning effort focused on improving safety, traffic flow, and overall transportation conditions along the Route 303 and Route 304 corridors.
A community workshop will be held on Tuesday, June 17, at Clarkstown Town Hall, located at 10 Maple Avenue in New City. The event will begin with a drop-in open house from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., followed by a formal presentation and question-and-answer session at 7:30 p.m.
Officials say the study presents a significant opportunity to reimagine two of Rockland County’s busiest roadways while addressing longstanding concerns involving speeding, traffic congestion, accidents, pedestrian safety, dangerous intersections, bus access, bicycle infrastructure, and future development needs.
The study will examine existing traffic patterns, crash data, land use conditions, and transportation challenges throughout the corridors, while also gathering community input to help guide future recommendations.
Residents are being encouraged not only to attend the workshop but also to participate in an extensive online public feedback platform where community members can rank priorities, submit concerns, identify problem areas on an interactive map, and share ideas for future improvements.
The online engagement portal allows residents to weigh in on issues including pedestrian crossings, speeding traffic, dangerous turns, bus stop access, bicycle safety, intersection redesigns, roundabouts, traffic signal improvements, roadway bottlenecks, and other transportation concerns.
Officials say public participation will play a major role in shaping the final recommendations and future projects that may emerge from the study.
