NEW ROCHELLE, NY (September 2, 2025) — The City of New Rochelle is set to hold a public hearing on the final design and funding application for improvements to the full length of Quaker Ridge Road, including lane redesign, paving and signal updates in line with Complete Streets design guidelines focused on enhanced safety for all users.
The hearing, which will provide an update on the project’s final design and the city’s proposed application for construction funding, is scheduled for Sept. 9 at 7 p.m. at City Hall in the Council Chamber. It builds on extensive public outreach from prior years, including work with the Complete Streets committee and public hearings in 2019.
The city is seeking funding to cover construction costs from federal, state and county partners, including an application through the new Westchester County Complete Streets Municipal Assistance grant program.
The Quaker Ridge Road project includes a redesign of the roadway by reducing motor vehicle lanes to allow space for new bicycle lanes and sidewalks on each side of the roadway. The design also includes new high visibility crosswalks and updated traffic signals, all of which will improve roadway safety and support the city’s climate goals by supporting active transportation trips.
The purpose of the meeting is to provide an opportunity for residents, individuals, local groups, public officials and interested agencies to provide comments on the city’s proposed application of the project’s final design for construction funding from the county’s Complete Streets Program.
Residents who are unable to attend the public hearing can submit comments to CompleteStreets@newrochelleny.gov through Sept. 18, 2025.
More information about the project and the grant application, including a contact form to submit comments and ask questions, is at https://engagenr.com/qrrcompletestreets/.
