Rockland County has officially opened the public comment period for the proposed Ramapo Rail Trail, a project designed to connect Spring Valley, Monsey, Airmont, and Tallman with a continuous multi-use trail. The public comment period runs from July 14 through August 4, 2026.

According to project information released by supporters of the initiative, the trail would provide a safe, car-free path for walking, biking, and outdoor recreation while improving connections between neighboring communities. Organizers say the project is intended to expand transportation options, promote healthy lifestyles, and strengthen community connectivity across the Town of Ramapo.

The proposed route includes sections through Spring Valley, Monsey, the New York State Thruway area, Airmont, and Tallman, with access near locations including Monsey Glen County Park and the Finkelstein Memorial Library.

Residents are encouraged to share their feedback during the public comment period. Supporters say each respectful individual comment helps demonstrate community interest in the project.
