Disappointing news. Knollwood is in horrible shape. NYS needs to appropriate more funds to repave roads they own.
Update: Knollwood Road repaving delayed till 2025.
Last year I reported that Senator Andrea Stewart Cousins had secured funding from the state to repave Knollwood Road. This state road, near Westchester Community College, was going to be repaved in 2024. Knollwood Road is a state road, not a town road and the responsibility for repaving the road is the state’s. The road is in horrible shape and is in desperate need of repaving. We’ve been pressing the state to repave this road for at least five years.
I was advised that that the state will not be able to complete the project this season. They expect to award a contract after bidding is completed by 10/28/2024. The end of this construction season will be used to prep the site including binder repairs, catch basin repairs, pothole repairs and gutter work to provide stability of Knollwood Road over the winter. The top course (final paving) will be constructed beginning in the spring, 2025.
Disappointed in the delays but pleased that NYS will repave this road—which probably has one of the worst road conditions of any road in Westchester. Central Ave, another NYS road in bad shape, is expected to be repaved this year. There are other roads in the town that are state owned and also in bad shape. NYS needs to allocate more funds to the NYS Department of Transportation to maintain roads that they own.
