Rethink Rt 17

Rethink Rt 17

The New York State Department of Transportation along with Governor Hochul's administration and the Federal Government are proposing a $1 billion expansion project that could widen 30 miles of Route 17 in Sullivan and Orange County. Instead of a highway expansion, Catskill Mountainkeeper and our allies urge New York to develop an alternate vision for the Route 17 corridor’s transportation and economic needs aligned with State and Federal climate laws.
