It would be built north of the current Exit 19, because there is enough land where the Route 209 bridge goes over the Thruway to build an interchange there. Plus, it would provide a better link to Kingston's northern end near the Malls and shopping areas on Ulster Avenue.

I just think it would unclog some of the traffic around the Roundabout/Route 28/Sawkill Road areas, and also allow quicker access to the Thruway from the Lake Katrine/Glasco areas.

It would also provide much shorter travel for motorists coming from the Kingston-Rhinecliff Bridge who want to travel north on the Thruway. Then they wouldn't have to drive all the way south on 209 first or create congestion by getting onto the Thruway in Saugerties.

My first thought was that it isn't really needed. But to think about it, it's not a bad idea. It would split the traffic at exit 19 in two and make getting to the mall easier for many including all the big trucks that make deliveries to there. A good idea that deserves a hearing.

yeh ,right after the new traffic circle

in case you haven't noticed people are moving out of the area in very large numbers!!

Should it be constructed before or after the Sottile Blvd.overpass on 199, and the rondabout at Albany Ave. and Chandler Dr., or should all three be built simultaneously? And maybe the $80 million high school renovation thrown in for good measure...

Kev---do you have population figures to back up your claim, which is contrary to the census figures?
I think that spot would be great. (Buford, it's north of the current exit, at 209, for easier access to 199 and the malls.

I don't have to prove anything to you smartass, build whatever makes you happy.
