NEW ROCHELLE, NY (September 16, 2025) — The City Council of New Rochelle is expected to approve a resolution Tuesday supporting the submission of an application to the Westchester County Complete Streets Municipal Assistance Program for the Quaker Ridge Road Complete Streets Project.
The program, announced on June 3, 2025, by the Westchester County Department of Planning, allocates $15 million in county capital funding to assist municipalities in the planning, design, and construction of Complete Streets improvements on local roads.
The program provides reimbursement of up to 50% of total project costs, with design and engineering fully funded by Westchester County.
The City of New Rochelle seeks to advance the Quaker Ridge Road Complete Streets Project to enhance safety, accessibility, and multimodal connectivity for all users.
The city intends to apply for the maximum available funding of $6,000,000 for construction and construction management of the Quaker Ridge Road Complete Streets Project through the Westchester County Complete Streets Municipal Assistance Program.
The required 50% local match of $3,000,000 will be fully satisfied by a previously awarded New York State Transportation Alternatives Program – Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality Improvement Program grant designated for the Quaker Ridge Road Complete Streets Project.
The deadline for submission of grant applications is September 19, 2025, and successful applicants will enter into Inter-Municipal Agreements with Westchester County in early 2026.
The city intends to apply for the full $6 million award to support construction and construction management of the Quaker Ridge Road project.
The resolution states that the City Council supports the submission of the city’s application to Westchester County Complete Streets Municipal Assistance Program for the Quaker Ridge Road Complete Streets project.
It further resolves that the City Manager affirms its commitment to provide the 50% local match in the amount of $3,000,000, to be fully funded by the New York State TAP-CMAQ grant previously awarded to the city for the Quaker Ridge Road project.
It also resolves that the City Council authorizes the City Manager, or his designee, to submit the application and all required documentation, and to take any and all steps necessary to carry out the intent of this resolution, including the execution of any agreements with Westchester County related to the funding of the project.
