About the
Project
The Rockland Riverway Trail project will transform and enhance the existing major roadways, pedestrian, and non-motorized trails along the eastern side of connect communities across Rockland County into a shared-use pedestrian and cycling network. This proposal does not include construction of any new trails or roadways. The Trail will cross through 10 different municipalities in the County and runs a total of approximately 21 linear miles.
Scoping Documents
The Scoping Period, which begins May 6 and ends June 1, is the first step in the environmental review process for the project. During the Scoping Period, Rockland County will collect verbal and written comments from the public that will contribute to the development of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The EIS is a comprehensive document that evaluates a project’s potential environmental, social, and economic impacts to comply with State review.
On May 6, Rockland County published a Draft Scoping Document to start the scoping process.
The document includes information about:
The project’s purpose and needs
Project elements that Rockland County will consider during the project timeline
Alternatives that will be studied in the EIS

Public input is an important part of the scoping process. All comments received verbally or in writing during the Scoping Period will be addressed in the final scoping document.
Written comments will be accepted through June 1. You may send your comments to The ARPA Department, 50 Sanatorium Road, Building A, 8th Floor, Pomona, New York 10970, or ARPA@co.rockland.ny.us
