Fresh from self proclaiming himself a Transit Guy, and saving the MTA, Sen. Chuck Schumer has now returned his attention to a upstate highway boondoggle that even many locals say is will only choke the Catskills in congestion and sprawl.
Schumer has championed an unnecessary plan to widen New York’s Route 17 the main artery of the Catskills, in the Hudson Valley about 70 miles northwest of New York City for more than 15 years, and he’s looking to get it over the hump now that Democrats control Congress.
The $500-million road widening would add a third lane in each direction along a 45-mile stretch of the four-lane highway, from the Exit 131 Harriman interchange to Exit 103 in Monticello, with the goal of making it more like an interstate. The plan is being pushed by 17-Forward-86, a coalition of real-estate, business and construction interests formed last year to support the road widening.
