Subject: Traffic on Hutchinson Parkway, King Street Exit - Concerns over 900 King Street Project
Mr. Bradbury,
Years ago, I spoke to you and other village and county leaders with concerns over the handling of traffic coming
off of the Northbound Hutchinson River Parkway onto King Street. My concern was that poor signage on the highway
and/or poor traffic controls at the exit caused unnecessary and extended backups due to the number of drivers who
make left turns off of that exit. You assured me that there was nothing that could be done due to the nuances of an exit
which affects two states, and the concerns over safety due to potential backups under the King Street bridge.
Now, a proposal exists to allow hundreds of more drivers to use this exit to get home, which already sometimes
takes me 10 or more minutes to clear during peak times. Our sleepy little village exit off of the parkway cannot handle
volume at its current state. Adding hundreds more drivers, all of whom likely to want to use this exit will further
complicate the matter.
What provisions will the Village be requiring to change the current traffic at the King Street exit on the
Northbound Hutchinson River Parkway? Will there be better signage on the Parkway? Will there be a traffic light? Will
there be a no left turn sign on King Street? Will the exit ramp provide for two lanes, one for left and one for right turns?
Thank you,
