T-Z REBUILD WORKSHOP TODAY AT PALISADES CENTER

Rockland and Westchester residents get another official look today at what’s in store locally when the Tappan Zee Bridge is replaced. The second of five community workshop on the bridge project is slated for 6 p.m. at the Palisades Mall’s Adler Community Room. The session will focus on Clarkstown – specifically, on how new mass transit options – via Thruway and railway -- would affect the town. The first workshop, focusing on Ramapo, was held two nights ago. The next one, focusing on Orangetown, is slated for next Wednesday, the 18th, at Nyack High School. The estimated five-year, $16-billion project could start as early as 2013. It calls for the addition of new, and as yet unfinalized, commuter bus and rail links across the new bridge.
