As a resident of Warwick, I understand that Exit 127 on Route 17 plays a significant role in our daily lives. It is a major thoroughfare for commuting and is critical in facilitating our visits to other parts of the town. The proposed NYS Route 17 Mobility & Access Improvement Project threatens to remove this essential exit, wreaking havoc on our routines and potentially causing congestion in Chester, leading to broader traffic issues.

Routes like these are not just about convenience; they are a part of the fabric of our community. Exit 127 on Route 17 is crucial in keeping our small town's of Warwick/Sugar Loaf connected, making us feel part of a broader community rather than isolated entities.

Moreover, by removing Exit 127, access to local businesses might be hampered, leading to reduced visitors and potential economic decline in certain areas. Beyond the mere traffic and commuting issues, this alteration may have far-reaching effects on our local economy.

The residents of Warwick have a right to an efficient, uninterrupted transportation system that works for them, not against them. Let's stand together to ensure our voices are heard. Let's Preserve Exit 127 on Route 17 and keep Warwick/Chester/Sugar Loaf connected and vibrant. Please sign this petition and help protect our town's way of life.
