More New Sidewalk For Montrose Along Route 9A

CORTLANDT, NY — Another section of new sidewalk is going in along the Albany Post Road in Montrose. The project will replace 1,500 linear feet of sidewalk and curbing on the westerly side of Albany Post Road.

Also, the project will include decorative lamps to enhance the area.

Officials expect it will benefit the businesses along the corridor and provide for a pedestrian walkway from Kings Ferry Road to Roundtree Lane.

"As always we apply for various grants from the Federal or State Governments to help to
offset the costs of our projects, including for infrastructure planning," said Cortlandt Town Supervisor Linda Puglisi. "This capital project is co-funded by the Federal Government and the Town of Cortlandt."

The project expense was awarded to the lowest responsible bidder at $397,207. Federal Aid for
construction is $228,000 with the Town’s being responsible for $169,200.

The construction will take roughly four months, she said, thanking everyone for their patience and cooperation.
