Civic Issues
Topics getting the most attention in Sullivan County public meetings, ranked by how frequently they are discussed.
6 issues in roads with medium priority
Government Center accessibility deficiencies
The county hired Accessibility Innovations Inc. to audit its websites and apps and draft a compliance plan — federal rules require compliance by April 24, 2027. This phase is assessment and planning only, not the fixes themselves.
County Route 370 joint bridge project with Orange County
A joint Sullivan-Orange County deck replacement on the Bloomingburg Main Street bridge — a public meeting is set for August 20 at 6:30 p.m. at the Mamakating town park.
Road resurfacing program funding increase
Paving is 60%+ done, striping finished a month early, guide rail work is in year three of ten, and bridge projects in Swan Lake, Callicoon Center and Cochecton are moving forward — with a June 17 public meeting on Bridge 51.
Monticello shuttle route changes
Ridership is on pace at 30,076 for the first quarter, but the agency wants to run faster half-hour shuttles in Monticello and Liberty — if it can find drivers. A mobility manager could be funded through an upcoming federal grant.
Bike and pedestrian plan implementation begins
A $50,000 contract modification pays for pre-design and cost-estimate packages at five sites — Monticello, South Fallsburg, Village of Liberty, Livingston Manor and Wurtsboro — so those towns can shop for construction grants later.
End of transit Route E
The county is ending its Route E bus run from Liberty through Livingston Manor, Roscoe, Calicoon Center and surrounding hamlets — it carried only 966 riders in ten months at about $152 a ride. A 30-day public notice is required; officials say the route could be reconsidered later.
