Board authorizes participation in Transportation Alternatives pre-application for sidewalks

Board of Trustees · January 8, 2026

Summary

The board authorized staff to work with the town to submit a Transportation Alternatives pre-application (intent) by Jan. 15 for federal pass-through TAP funds; Fair Street and Route 9D were cited as candidate projects with estimated costs of $1.5–2.0 million and $3.0 million respectively.

Chair (S1) briefed the board on the Transportation Alternatives Grant program and asked for authorization to submit a pre-application/letter of intent by January 15 so the town can apply by the March 15 deadline. Chair (S1) said these funds are large federal pass-through dollars and encouraged intermunicipal cooperation.

"It's $97,400,000 federal pass through money, to the states," Chair (S1) said, noting staff identified Fair Street (estimated $1.5–2.0 million) and Route 9D (estimated about $3.0 million) as possible projects to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety to the Hudson Highlands State Park. The board authorized staff to work with the town on the January 15 pre-application and to request letters of support from neighboring municipalities as needed.
