Posted

PORT JERVIS, NY — The Open Space Institute (OSI) is working on a feasibility study to connect the 57-mile former O&W Rail Trail and D&H Towpath corridor into a continuous multi-use path.

If completed, residents and visitors will have the opportunity to walk a highly scenic trail connecting local communities from Kingston to Port Jervis. Visit the project’s new web page (tinyurl.com/4k39vdwj) to learn more and sign up for updates.

As a part of the project, OSI is launching a community survey to assess how community members currently view and use trails, and what amenities they might want to see in a completed trail corridor in the future. To take the survey, visit tinyurl.com/tam4zuma.

The corridor passes through Ulster, Sullivan and Orange counties, and there will be an open house in each. They will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. on the following dates:

  • Wednesday, May 1: Ellenville Village Hall Meeting Room (2 Elting Court, Ellenville)
  • Monday, May 6: Mamakating Town Hall Community Room (2948 Rte. 209, Wurtsboro)
  • Tuesday, May 14: Port Jervis City Hall Meeting Room (20 Hammond St., Port Jervis)
