SAVE EXIT 114!
There is a plan to close exit 114 (Wurtsboro Village exit) off route 17 by the Department of Transportation when Route 17 is converted to 1-86 in the next couple years. We need your support to prevent this from happening!
NYSDOT needs to hear from YOU, the individuals who both live and work within our community. We understand not everyone was able to make it to the open house. However, we strongly encourage you to fill out the comment form. Please be sure to describe your personal concerns with a closure of Exit 114. Remember, we all have different stories. NYSDOT needs to hear them all!

Attention ALL concerned residents and businesses!
Following the NYSDOT Open House, held November 20th, we now know the URGENT next steps towards preventing the closure of Exit 114.

These forms will become part of the Project file, which is a public record, and will be considered during the preparation of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS).
2. Write a personalized letter to our politicians voicing your personal concerns about the closure of Exit 114. Remember, we all have different stories and ways in which we would be impacted by the proposed closure and NYSDOT needs to hear them ALL!
