纽约州宣布逾9700万美元交通替代项目资金 全州35个步行骑行项目获资助
纽约州州长凯西·霍楚尔（Kathy Hochul）宣布，全州35个改善步行、骑行与无障碍出行的项目将获得总计逾9,700万美元资助。其中，韦斯特切斯特县拉奇蒙特村（Village of Larchmont）获得480万美元，用于改善查茨沃斯大道、拉奇蒙特大道与范德堡大道沿线的步行、自行车与无障碍设施。
这笔资金由联邦公路管理局的「交通替代计划」提供，由纽约州交通厅负责管理，旨在支持步行、骑行等非机动车出行方式，并减少温室气体排放。霍楚尔表示，这类投资能让纽约人少开车、更方便地步行或骑行到达目的地。
拉奇蒙特村村长布丽吉德·布伦南（Brigid Brennan）表示，这笔投资将让所有居民过街更安全。州参议员雪莱·梅耶尔（Shelley Mayer）亦对该村获得近500万美元资助表示欢迎。

New York Announces More Than $97 Million for 35 Walking and Biking Projects Statewide
New York Governor Kathy Hochul has announced more than $97 million in funding for 35 projects across the state to improve pedestrian, bicycle and accessibility infrastructure, including $4.8 million for the Village of Larchmont in Westchester County to upgrade the Chatsworth Avenue, Larchmont Avenue and Vanderburgh Avenue corridors.
The awards are funded through the Federal Highway Administration's Transportation Alternatives Program and administered by the New York State Department of Transportation, supporting non-motorized travel such as walking and biking and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Hochul said the investments will help New Yorkers leave their cars at home and make it easier to walk or bike to their destinations.
Larchmont Mayor Brigid Brennan said the investment will make crossing safer for all residents, and State Senator Shelley Mayer welcomed the nearly $5 million award for the village's pedestrian and bicycle safety and accessibility improvements.
