Dangerous New Castle Metro-North crossing to get new $107M overpass

A dangerous Metro-North Railroad crossing along the Saw Mill River Parkway in New Castle will be replaced with a $107 million overpass. The Roaring Brook Road crossing is among 91 projects across 37 states that will split $1.24 billion in funding earmarked for rail crossing safety upgrades, the Federal Railroad Administration announced Friday, Oct. 30. It’s the largest of the grants, surpassing the $90 million California received to eliminate a crossing in Burlingame. The New York State Department of Transportation will pick up 20% of the cost to design and build the overpass. The Harlem Line crossing has been the scene of dozens of accidents. Some 9,000 vehicles and over 100 passenger trains pass through every day. What to know about Roaring Brook Road crossing funds “Protecting the traveling public and enhancing the backbone of our nation’s transportation system — our rail network — is all part of the Trump administration's commitment to move people and products better than ever,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Sean P. Duffy. New York’s U.S. senators, Democrats Charles Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand, have advocated for the changes. Schumer appeared in Garrison four years ago to highlight the need for rail crossing eliminations in New Castle

Subway Safety for Women in NYC

Subway safety has continued to be of concern for women across NYC since the first underground rapid transit network opened in 1904. Over 100 years later, women are concerned for their safety as they board subway train. Women’s uneasiness permeates regardless of whether the train is packed or empty, if it is day or night, or if one is alone or with a group of people. Many women consciously keep their guard up throughout their commute, scanning the lengths of the train car they are in, or even tilting their heads to peer through the neighboring train car windows.

In 1930, these iconic subway cars were built to transport New Yorkers across the five boroughs; 96 years later, New Yorkers can hop aboard the beloved vintage trains and head on a magically nostalgic journey through NYC

Halloween is officially in the rearview mirror , which means our favorite city is now ready to shift into full festive mode!

MTA saw record-high ridership over Halloween, marathon weekend in NYC — but straphangers have complaints

The Metropolitan Transportation Authority saw a record-breaking surge of riders over Halloween and New York City Marathon weekend — but many fed-up straphangers complained of dangerously crowded platforms and lengthy delays. Some 3.14 million riders took the subway Sunday, marking an all-time ridership high for the first day of the week and shattering last year’s record by 11%, Governor Kathy Hochul and the MTA announced Monday. Similarly, the day before, on Halloween, straphangers smashed the previous post-pandemic Saturday record with 3.59 million riders, marking the most on a single Saturday since 2016. Roughly 3.59 million straphangers rode the subway on Halloween Saturday. Zuma / SplashNews.com Even before the Big Apple’s mammoth weekend, the subway carried a whopping 4.72 million passengers on a record-shattering Thursday, marking the highest single-day ridership since the pandemic with a 9.7% increase in ridership compared to the same day last year. “From the streets to the subways, New Yorkers were on the move this weekend in record numbers,” Hochul said in a press release. MTA bus-fare retreat could doom all NYC public transit “The subway is the lifeblood of our city and from Halloween to the marathon, the major events that make New York special simply

How the congestion-toll scam hides behind the fantasy of a carless city

Congestion pricing is a huge failure if you look at its stated goals, but a brilliant ploy to rob the public by appealing to the war on cars. Despite the mutual back-patting from Gov. Kathy Hochul and her MTA minions, traffic is no faster and the air is no cleaner since the city started tolling cars and trucks in much of Manhattan. It has raised money, yielding the MTA about $750 million this year, almost covering the lost revenue from bus and subway fare evasion. So if picking the pockets of working people is a win, then it’s going gangbusters. Dem pol blames congestion pricing for breakup after beau couldn’t afford toll — as she rips Hochul-backed tax But the warm-and-fuzzy crowd feels like the tolls are a win for the environment and so on, and feelings are what matter, right? Hence, too, the push to redesign the city to make driving a car as expensive and inconvenient as possible. Hochul just confessed: She’ll give Mamdani his tax hikes next year Bicycles account for about 1% of all commuting, but romantics feel they’ll become New Yorkers’ most popular option if we’re relentless enough in expanding mostly-empty bike lanes — and
