Public Invited to Enjoy the New “Marcus J. Molinaro Northside Line” Dutchess County’s urban trail connecting community assets in City and Town of Poughkeepsie now open for 24/7/365 use
The first phase of Dutchess County’s urban trail project in the City and Town of Poughkeepsie is open for public use and touting a new official name – the Marcus J. Molinaro Northside Line (MJM Northside Line) – honoring Dutchess County’s seventh County Executive for his commitment to Dutchess County Parks and his service to the County.
The Marcus J. Molinaro Northside Line maximizes connections and access for those who walk, run or bicycle, whether for transportation, recreation, or other purposes. This expansion of the County's rail trail system links Poughkeepsie’s northern neighborhoods with key destinations such as Marist University, Hudson Heritage, the Hudson River waterfront, Quiet Cove Riverfront Park, the Walkway Over the Hudson, MidHudson Regional Hospital, the W.R.S. Dutchess Rail Trail, the Fall Kill Creek, and a variety of other parks and local businesses.
