NYSDOT Extends Public Comment Period for I-787 Corridor Report
November 15, 2024
ALBANY, N.Y. – The New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) today announced that it has extended the public comment period for the Draft Planning and Environmental Linkages (PEL) Report for the Reimagining the I-787 Corridor project.
The PEL Report provides a framework for the development of a comprehensive plan to transform the I-787 corridor in the Capital Region. The report examines the corridor’s current conditions, identifies future needs, and evaluates potential improvements to enhance mobility, safety, and economic development.
The public comment period was originally scheduled to end on November 21, 2024. However, NYSDOT has extended the deadline to December 15, 2024 to provide the public with additional time to review the report and provide feedback.
“We are committed to engaging the public throughout the development of this project,” said NYSDOT Commissioner Marie Therese Dominguez. “We encourage everyone to take this opportunity to review the Draft PEL Report and share their thoughts and ideas.”
The Draft PEL Report is available for review on the project website at: www.dot.ny.gov/i-787-corridor-study
Members of the public can submit comments via:

NYSDOT will host a virtual public meeting on November 29, 2024, at 6:00 PM to present the findings of the Draft PEL Report and answer questions from the public. The meeting will be held via Zoom and information on how to register can be found on the project website.
NYSDOT is committed to working with stakeholders and the public to develop a plan that meets the needs of the Capital Region and ensures that the I-787 corridor remains a vital transportation asset for decades to come.
