The Palisades Shared Use Path Study is a federally funded study managed by the New York Metropolitan Transportation Council (NYMTC) through the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT). The study area for the shared use path extends from the George Washington Bridge in Fort Lee to the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge in Nyack (approximately 15-miles). The study will develop recommended alternatives, transportation improvements, cost estimates, and an opportunities and constraints analysis to determine the feasibility of a separate shared use path between the two bridges. Additional enhancements to pedestrian and cyclist access along the U.S. 9W corridor through Palisades Interstate Park are also being considered.
Melissa Johnson Associates is responsible for community outreach and stakeholder engagement, which includes incorporating feedback into the study’s report of outcomes and recommendations. Responsibilities of the community engagement program include organizing community visioning workshops; preparing outreach materials and presentations; analyzing community feedback; facilitating public review meetings; developing a project website; and presenting project information at pop-up events and community meetings.
