WASHINGTON—U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer and Kirsten Gillibrand announced $7 million from the Bipartisan Infrastructure & Jobs Law in Safe Streets and Roads For All (SS4A) grant funding for the Village and Town of Mount Kisco to upgrade major roadways throughout Mount Kisco.

The funding will make improvements to the notoriously dangerous West Main Street, Main Street and Lexington Avenue as well as improving emergency access to Northern Westchester Hospital.

“For years, Northern Westchester families have worried about notoriously dangerous roads and high accident rates in Mount Kisco. I visited Mount Kisco and heard firsthand from local leaders on the immediate need for these safety upgrades to improve traffic flow and improve emergency access to Northern Westchester Hospital,” said Sen. Schumer.

The federal grant will fund major upgrades along 1.85 miles on West Main Street, Main Street and Lexington Avenue, which according to the project application had 690 crashes, 98 injuries and 13 serious injuries between 2018 and 2022, while improving emergency access to Northern Westchester Hospital. Mount Kisco will add more lighting, wider lanes, curb extensions, a pedestrian island and more safety features.
