Every year, Chuck commits to traveling to all62 counties in New York to meet with constituents.
Standing at Gesner Avenue Waterfront Park in South Nyack, NY, U.S. Senator Charles E. Schumer today launched his push to urge the Federal Highway Admiration (FHWA) to quickly green-light the updated Tappan Zee Bridge pedestrian access plan. Schumer said now that the local community strongly supports the new proposal, the FHWA must sign off and quickly grant project a waiver to avoid lengthy reviews and potential delays that could increase costs and stall construction. The redesigned plan was done in close partnership with the residents and local leaders of South Nyack, and will improve the quality of life for Rockland residents while offering state of the art recreational, walking and biking trails. New York State put considerable resources into redesigning the plans to ensure local communities reap the benefits of the new bridge and FHWA should approve the well thought out design.
