What We’re Working On

New Crosswalk
on Main Street
We want a new, high-visibility crosswalk on Main Street, near the municipal parking lot. Tons of people cross there already, and this would make it safer.

Protected Bike Lane Network
A network of protected bike lanes would make our city way more welcoming and easy to get around — especially from the riverfront to downtown.

More Murals!
Peekskill has a huge artist population — so let’s have more public art! Murals, sculptures, and other public art makes walking more interesting and pleasant — and it’s an awesome way to show visitors who we are!
Pedestrian-friendly cities benefit everyone!

Peekskill is walkable by default. We want to make it pedestrian-friendly.
