On December 1, Riverkeeper submitted written comments on the new Tappan Zee Bridge/I-287 environmental review documents. While a few of Riverkeeper’s concerns have been addressed by the New York State Department of Transportation, concerns about the legal procedure, environmental impacts, and commuter rail option remain. Because of the enormous environmental, economic and social implications for the region from the bridge’s rehabilitation or replacement Riverkeeper seeks to ensure that all legal protections be applied — for our communities and for the Hudson River.
