State Department Of Transportation To Host Public Open House Featuring Proposed Improvements To The Rhinecliff Train Station
The New York State Department of Transportation, in partnership with Amtrak, today announced a public open house, which will be held on Thursday, July 30, to present proposed improvements to the Rhinecliff Station in the Hamlet of Rhinecliff, Dutchess County. The proposed project will improve service reliability, prepare the station for future growth of the Empire Corridor, and deliver a station that is fully accessible for people with disabilities.
The open house will be held on Thursday, July 30 from 5 to 7 p.m. at Morton Memorial Library, 82 Kelly Street, Rhinecliff.
Community feedback is a vital part of the design process. Those attending the open house can view conceptual illustrations and speak directly with NYSDOT and Amtrak staff, who will be available throughout the session to answer questions and gather input from residents and commuters.
Proposed measures include a new 1,000-foot long, high-level platform to permit easier on and off-loading; a new pedestrian crossover bridge; station building rehabilitation; and site-wide ADA accessible improvements.
