The Putnam County Main Street Partnership represents a partnership between Putnam County
and its towns and villages to address issues of community revitalization in the County’s
hamlets, villages, and traditional commercial centers.

Putnam County commissioned AKRF and Hudson Valley Pattern for Progress to conduct a planning and feasibility study of 10 key commercial corridors throughout the County. The purpose of the study is to establish recommendations towards the revitalization and improvements for each corridor. These recommendations are based on a thorough transportation and traffic assessment, current economic conditions, socio-economic demographics and spending analysis and an existing conditions survey.

This study conducted a needs assessment of various intersections throughout Putnam County and evaluated the feasibility of (i) converting an intersection to a roundabout, or (ii) traffic signal placement/upgrades at an intersection, and/or (iii) addition of turn lane(s) at an intersection.  The study examined the feasibility of and made recommendations on improving traffic conditions, e.g., traffic signal upgrades, geometric improvements such as the addition of turn lanes, placement of a roundabout, with consideration given to plan consistency (long range plan).

Summary: The Southeast to Danbury Rail Link Feasibility Study evaluated the restoration of passenger rail service on the southern Beacon Line, an approximate 11-mile rail corridor between the Southeast and/or Brewster Stations on the MNR Harlem Line in New York and the Danbury Station on the State of Connecticut/Metro-North Danbury Line in Connecticut. The purpose of the study was to determine whether it is financially and operationally feasible to restore passenger service to the 11-mile section.

Conclusion: Assuming certain environmental concerns can be successfully addressed though future, more detailed analysis, the Southeast to Danbury Rail-Link is technically feasible and could operate without degrading other Metro-North services.

The Putnam County Department of Planning, Development, and Public Transportation retained the services of Greenman Pedersen, Inc. (GPI) to develop an Intersection Improvement Feasibility Study with funding from the UPWP. The study utilizes traffic data from 2022 and 2023 at twelve intersections throughout Putnam County to assess existing traffic conditions and determine the operational, capacity, and safety needs for each. This assessment included a review of potential intersection improvements, where appropriate, and an assessment of the costs and feasibility of the improvement alternatives.

The recently completed study conducted by AKRF, Inc. on behalf of Putnam County Planning evaluated six intersections and roadways throughout Putnam County in order to assess the existing transportation network conditions and develop conceptual recommendations to enhance roadway safety and improve the active transportation (walking, biking, etc.) environment.

Putnam County engaged PMG to implement a comprehensive Pavement Management Program (PMP) utilizing their state-of-the-art RoadINsights™ platform. This project included a detailed assessment of the County’s 116.8 centerline miles of roadways, encompassing over 15.5 million square feet and 103 management sections. The outcome of this project is a clear, actionable roadmap for improving the County's road network, ensuring safer and more reliable roadways for the community.
