The draft environmental impact statement (DEIS) for the proposed Tappan Zee Bridge replacement has been released.
The DEIS’ public comment period, which ends on March 15, gives New Yorkers a chance to voice their opinions on the project. For the past decade, Lower Hudson Valley residents have discussed adding bus rapid transit (BRT) to the I-287 corridor and the Tappan Zee Bridge, but Governor Cuomo’s plans to fast-track the bridge’s construction do not accommodate it.
The DEIS is available here.
After the public comment period, the DEIS will be revised. Comments can be submitted by any of the following:
  • tzbsite@dot.state.ny.us
  • 845-454-7443 (fax)
  • 877-892-3685 (phone)
  • Michael P Anderson
    Tappan Zee Hudson River Crossing Project
    New York State Dept. of Transportation
    4 Burnett Boulevard
    Poughkeepsie, NY 12603

There are two scheduled public hearings on the DEIS:

  • Rockland County: Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 4pm-9pm
    Palisades Center, 4th Floor Community Rooms
    1000 Palisades Center Drive

  • Westchester County: Thursday, March 1, 2012 4pm-9pm
    Westchester Marriott, Grand Ballroom
