RAMAPO, NY – The New York State Department of Transportation are continuing safety upgrades to Route 59. The road has had many pedestrians struck by motor vehicles. Following the tragic death of a baby in 2018, the NYS DOT started making much needed safety upgrades – they have repaired and built new sidewalks, added extra signage, and multiple new crosswalks. There is currently a temporary light that has been installed. (unconfirmed if the light will be permeant when construction is completed).

It will soon be possible to walk from the Nanuet commuter lot through Spring Valley to College Road in Airmont/Monsey, all on a sidewalk.

The Blue Envelope Program is a vital initiative designed to improve interactions between law enforcement and drivers with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Drivers with autism can store their license, registration, and insurance in a distinctive blue envelope, which serves as a discreet way to notify officers of their condition during traffic stops.

This program helps reduce misunderstandings, lowers anxiety, and fosters a more empathetic and safer environment for everyone.

How to Get a Blue Envelope:

Reach out to autism advocacy organizations in your area or your local sheriff’s office to obtain one. Together, we can promote understanding and safety on the road!
