Village Happenings

Village Happenings as of 06/29/2021

Mill St. Park: 

The new Mill St Park project is nearing completion. The contractor, Precise has advised the village that they will mill the merchant lot’s surface and lay down the final topcoat of asphalt from the merchant lot to the entrance/exit of the new park.

The fencing contractor will be onsite later this week or early next week to install the fence around the park portion of the project.

After that all that remains is striping and signage.

Rockland County Sewer Project:

The contractor for the Rockland County Sewer District and the NYS DOT has completed the sewer pipe installation.

The sewer district will conduct pressure and pitch tests. They will notify the village and its affected residents when they can connect to the sewer system.

O&R has completed the main and lateral natural gas line connections throughout the RT 17 corridor.

Suez has completed the main and lateral water line connections throughout the RT 17 corridor.

NYS DOT Complete Streets Project:

The NYS DOT is installing:

New sidewalks and curbs on both sides of RT 17 within Sloatsburg. The westside is almost completed. They will immediately start on the eastside once the westside is done. The eastside sidewalks are only being replaced in the downtown area of the village.

All the crosswalks are either being replaced, properly aligned and or repaired.

All the traffic control devices are being changed to an adaptive lighting system, the traffic signals will be controllable during high volume traffic times or emergency situations by the NYS DOT. 

A new crosswalk is being installed on RT 17 in the vicinity of the library and bus shelter. This device is known as a HAWK, high intensity activated crosswalk.

The NYS DOT has modified the “Road Diet” concept plan due to an increase in the vehicle traffic count data.

The village center will remain four lanes. South of the village in the unincorporated part of Ramapo, RT 17 approaching the village will remain two lanes, but the right lane will at one point become a dedicated turn lane for Sterling Mine Rd. The left lane will enter the village as two lanes transitioning to four by the time you get to Colonial Ave/Rhodes Tavern.

North of the village, starting at Seven Lakes Drive, RT 17 will transition from four lanes to two 20-foot lanes with various striped center lanes for access to driveways and cross streets to the county line.

All of Route 17, within the village will be completely repaved.

The village can not provide a completion date as this is not a village project and there are numerous variables.

We will provide occasional updates as they are provided to us.
