Civic issues
Topics getting the most attention in Newburgh public meetings, ranked by how frequently they come up.
Johnston Street one-way designation
An ordinance would make S. Johnston Street between Ann Street and Broadway one-way northbound, extending the current one-way section. Drivers and neighbors on those blocks would feel the change day to day.
Broadway Traffic Signal Upgrades and Courthouse Fire Alarms
Items on Broadway infrastructure: fire alarm repairs at the Broadway Courthouse ($5,158.16), a change order on the Broadway pedestrian and traffic signals project, and two NYSDOT supplemental agreements for traffic signal upgrades on PINs 8758.75 and 8005.26.
West Shore passenger rail feasibility study
A resolution of support asking for a feasibility study on bringing passenger rail back to the West Shore Line — a long-shot but potentially transformative transit link for Newburgh commuters.
Four-way stop at South William and South Lander Streets
An ordinance would add stop signs making South William Street and South Lander Street a 4-way stop — a neighborhood traffic-safety change.
Downtown parking study
A contract with Desman, Inc. for a parking study, not to exceed $65,110, was scheduled for consideration. Results would guide future parking policy downtown.
