NYSDOT Provides an Update on Scajaquada Expressway

  • September 14, 2015

NYSDOT has provided a response to two letters submitted by the SCC regarding the future of the Scajaquada Expressway. The letter provided information on the comprehensive environmental review currently underway by NYSDOT, which includes:

  • Examining full complement of alternatives with speed limits set at 40 and 30 mph;
  • 4 lane and 2 lane options within Delaware park; and
  • Analysis of full removal of the roadway between Parkside Avenue and Elmwood Avenue.

Evaluations are expected to be complete and presented at the public information session on September 16.

NYSDOT also confirmed that they have initiated the process of changing the classification of the road from a principal urban arterial-expressway.

The community has been fighting for a 30 mph speed limit on the Scajaquada Expressway for more than a decade. Governor Cuomo has also supported a 30 mph speed limit, so we are eager to hear NYSDOT’s reasoning for an analysis of 40 mph. Please join us at the Frederick Law Olmsted Public School 64 on Wednesday, September 16, at 5:00 pm to show your support for the calming of the Scajaquada.
