SIE Statement of Principles Released
On Wednesday, the Tri-State Campaign, Assembly member Eric Vitaliano, State Senator Vincent Gentile, City Council members John Fusco and Jerome O'Donovan and Staten Island Citizens for Clean Air released a "Statement of Principles for the S.I.E. Major Investment Study." The statement presented eight points the signatories believe should govern the conduct of the study. Among them: A "solution" that promotes an increase in either automobile or truck traffic on the Staten Island Expressway or other Staten Island roadways is unacceptable. The NY State DOT must fully study all promising strategies for the corridor, regardless of whether a strategy would be implemented in the Expressway right-of-way and whether NYS DOT would be the implementing agency.See information related to this article:
