KINGSTON – Work will move forward this week on the Kingston Greenline project as contractor Limber Tree Services removes unhealthy trees from East Chester Street to the Hasbrouck and Delaware Avenue intersection. Trees have been identified for removal along the old U&D corridor that runs behind the properties on each of the streets and emerges at East Chester from behind Rondout Savings Bank and Walgreens.
Over the past couple of years the Kingston Land Trust, the Bruderhoff Church Communities and the City of Kingston have worked to clean out the old rail corridor of trash and debris. The railroad ties have been removed.
Another project that will begin this week is to extend the crushed stone surface along the Causeway adjacent to the Trolley tracks at Kingston Point further west to meet up with East Strand.
That will be a continuation of the improvements to the corridor that will ultimately make the connection to the existing promenade in the Rondout. It will also link up to the Kingston Point Rail Trail as it makes its way down the hill from East Chester Street.
