Barbara,
it is the boulevard [ rte 32] that i am talking about. not broadway. but kingston's sidewalks are terrible almost all over the area.

Fix the drainage on the Boulevard - there are no ditches on either side, the road is like a river when the snow melts. I get my car washed at Hoffman and come home the Boulevard and presto ! It's filthy again! It's been like this for years ! Please fix it - it's really not that hard !

WELL NOW THAT THE SNOW IS MOSTLY GONE , I HOPE THEY WILL CONSIDER PUTTING SIDEWALKS IN ON RT 32 THAT LEADS UP TO MENTAL HEALTH AND THE HILL. PEOPLE WHO WALK ,, THEIR NEEDS ARE NOT MET AND A LAW SUIT COULD ENSUE........ KINGSTON THINK ABOUT THAT ONE........

Sorry, they will never put sidewalks in on Route 32 for people to get to "the hill". When they built the new mental health building back in 1985, all the social workers and clients (as they were called in those days) complained that their clients who used to walk to appointments when it was located near Kingston Hospital now had a dangerous trek up to the hill. The director and administration of mental health tried to get them to put sidewalks in but the state never did it. At least they succeded in getting the citibus to change their route. I personally walked up route 32 from Stewarts shop and was nearly run over several times.

I CAN SEE THAT KINGSTON WOULD RATHER DISOWN THE BOULEVARD WHERE THE SIDEWALKS NEED TO BE. I HOPE THE NEW MAYOR WILL CONSIDER THIS HIS TERRRITORY TOO AND PUT UP SIDEWALKS SO THE PEOPLE OF KINGSTON HAVE A SAFE AREA TO WALK.

The mayor has little say so about sidewalks on Route 32 because Route 32 is a state road, not a town or city road. NYS Dept of Transportation is responsible for maintenance and projects on Route 32.

i CAN SEE THAT THE STATE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BOULEVARD EXCEPT IF PRESIDENTS OR FORMER PRESIDENTS GO EAT AT THE MANOR.... BUT THE STATE IS DOING RT 32 BUT WILL NOT GO INTO THE CITY WITH THE NEW ROAD PAVING., GALLO WHAT IS UP WITH THE BOULEVARD AND THE SIDEWALK AND REPAVING SITUATION??????

The city REALLY needs to install sidewalks. But then, they'll wait to get sued after someone gets hit and killed first.

This is too important to close,

This problem could be solved by connecting the new Walkill Valley Rail Trail (that currently ends at Rockwell Dr - but the tracks continue to Rt. 32) to the center of Kingston - eventually connecting to the Catskill Mountain Rail Trail and the Kingston Point Rail Trail (both of which are in planning). Get involved in helping to plan for and advocate for that. Kingston Land Trust Rail Trail Committee is probably the best group to work with on that, they are planning the "Greenline" which will connect everything.

I guess it will take an act of congress to get sidewalks in here.

I see many people walkingand riding bicycles along Route 32, most of which are coming from the Law Enforcement Center, have nowhere to walk and are walking on the road. A sidewalk is SERIOUSLY needed.

everyone agrees, that a sidewalk is so needed but i see neither the state nor kingston give a damn about the safety of people.

Thanks for fixing this request!
