Preliminary Workshop Summary Available

The first glimpse into the ideas shared by the public at two public workshops held in June and through online and Textizen surveys through July 2015 is now available. A two page summary document highlights facts about who attended the workshops, where attendees live vs. where they work and the most used words by attendees in the written comment sheets. A summary of the emphasis areas of greatest interest to attendees is also provided, indicating that access for bicycles and pedestrians and economic development are most important. Additional summary materials will be developed as stakeholder outreach is completed in September 2015.

Textizen and Online Surveys Now Closed

Thank you to the 75+ individuals that submitted suggestions and input in the month of June through our text messaging and online survey tools. Though not scientific surveys, the consultant team will be folding the responses into a broader summary of what we heard at the public workshops. Check back later this summer for updates on the study.

Public Workshop Materials Now Available

Over 125 people attended the June 2015 public workshops for the I-787/Hudson Waterfront Corridor Study. The project team would like to thank everyone for attending and our hosts in Albany and Watervliet for providing the meeting spaces.

All of the materials from both workshops are now available for review on our Resources page. Note that we will be closing our Textizen and online project survey on July 8th.

30+ interested individuals attended the June 30th workshop in Watervliet

Public Workshop 1 Attracts 90+ Participants

Our first drop in style Public Workshop on June 24th in Albany drew over 90 interested individuals with a wide range of ideas, concerns and questions regarding the study and the study area. The project team and study sponsors thank you for attending and providing your input! All the materials displayed at the workshop including a copy of the presentation can be found under Resources.
