Rockland County residents now have the opportunity to weigh in on the proposed Ramapo Rail Trail, a project that would create a continuous walking and biking trail connecting Spring Valley, Monsey, Airmont, and Tallman.

The route would pass through portions of Spring Valley, Monsey, Airmont, and Tallman, connecting several neighborhoods and community destinations. The trail will provide a safe, car-free route for walking, biking, and outdoor recreation.

The public comment period is open from today, July 14 through August 4, giving residents a chance to share their thoughts before planning moves forward. You can submit comments to Rockland County Planning at [email protected] during the public comment period.
