NY 17/"I-86"

[vdeane]

I did find the scope of the proposed NY 17 widening to be rather surprising. There is a very strong case for widening between Harriman and Goshen or perhaps Middletown. Beyond that I think there are much higher regional priorities; I'd much rather funding go towards an I-87/I-287 widening in Rockland County or US 6 upgrades than NY 17 west (north) of Middletown.

From the scoping report, the widening alternative would only widen from exit 120 to 130A (Middletown-Harriman).  The only people I hear talking about widening west of there are the advocates, both for and against.
