On the Right Track: Safely Connecting Communities to the Hudson River (virtual)
August 26, 2021 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Scenic Hudson presents a conversation on Amtrak’s proposal to build fences by the waterfronts along the Hudson.
Recreation, inspiration, food… Places to gather and celebrate… Thriving local economies… All are benefits of connecting with the Hudson River — and all are threatened by Amtrak’s current proposal to erect gates and fences blocking access to riverfront destinations between Poughkeepsie and Rensselaer. Amtrak has promised to work with local officials and other stakeholders as the plan is finalized.
Join local and state officials and transportation experts at a free webinar to learn how YOU can help ensure that the plan reduces risk along the rail line without threatening riverfront access. Updates also will be provided about other efforts to provide new connections to the river.
