Supervisor Nicholas D’Alessandro Announces the First Roundabout in East Fishkill

The East Fishkill Town Board is excited to report that the first roundabout to be constructed in East
Fishkill has been permitted by the New York Department of Transportation. This project is part of the East
Fishkill Route 52 Traffic Mitigation Plan which was developed by the East Fishkill Engineering Department in
collaboration with Hudson Valley Engineering Associates.

The roundabout will be at the intersection of Patriot Way (formerly known as Auditorium Drive) and
Route 52. This roundabout along with the John Jay Student Drop-off will help to alleviate traffic congestion on
Route 52 and benefit the access to the John Jay High School, and to surrounding residential and commercial
properties.

Roundabouts are known to be safer than traffic light and stop sign-based intersections. The Insurance
Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) cites numerous reports that indicate big reductions in accidents, including
one that found crashes involving injuries went down by up to 80 percent at sites where roundabouts were
installed at intersections. There are also traffic flow benefits, which bring with them a reduction in emissions.
The groundbreaking ceremony will be held at the intersection of Route 52 and Patriot Way on Thursday,
June 16, 2022 at 5:15pm.

Updates and alerts will be posted on the East Fishkill Website, East Fishkill Facebook Page and will be
sent through GovDelivery. Please contact the Town of East Fishkill at 845-221-9191 with any questions or
concerns. 

Thank you.
