Despite the Federal Highway Administration’s approval last week of Governor Cuomo’s Tappan Zee Bridge plan, there are still many issues that have yet to addressed. Lower Hudson Valley residents want to know more about how the bridge will be financed, what the new toll will be and if we will ever get the mass transit and road improvements we were originally promised.

It’s been a big point of contention between the people in the Lower Hudson Valley and the Governor of New York: Andrew Cuomo’s controversial decision to remove mass transit as a component of the new Tappan Zee Bridge. However, with last week’s announcement that an existing bus service will get its own dedicated rush hour lane, it would seem that this disagreement is done. Everyone’s a winner — the governor gets public support for his project, the people get priority mass transit and everyone joins hands and sings songs of Kumbaya as they board the speedy mass transit option on the first day of the TZB II service.
You probably won’t be surprised to learn that it isn’t that simple and that everyone isn’t so happy.
