Please be advised for the people that dump the trash in this lot that throwing trash in this lot is very wrong. Waste management is the dump across the street. When you pull up your vehicle is weighed the employees direct you depending what materials you are throwing out, you than unload and go back on the scale. The very helpful employees give you a total, you pay the total. It is very inexspensive and you are not littering and making our beautiful county look dirty. Please dont dump your couches and chairs, trash, etc. at the park and ride lot. Please please go to waste management and show that we all know littering is the wrong choice for all obvious reasons. Do NoT Litter go across the street and meet the Waste management staff. A neighbor from the park and ride on 32.

I was driving past the other day from the US 209 offramp and seen some clean up going on. Not sure to what extent but they were defiantly cleaning the park and ride lot.

Dear Mr. Petramale,
Thank you, for whatever influence you had with the improvement of the park and ride. I hope the people will see that it is not a dumping ground. Thank you so much for replying to my comment. Good Luck! You will always have a supporter.

That "parking lot" has been an eyesore for years now. It seems to have sprung up after the overpasses for Route 199 were built, yet was never properly paved, striped, or signed in order to become a full-fledged "Park and Ride" lot by today's standards.

And, of course, proper drainage and street lighting would also need to be upgraded as well.

I think it would be a very wise decision if NYSDOT (or whoever is responsible,) would convert this dumping-ground/ gravel-wasteland parking lot into something usable.

This would allow Kingston and its surrounding areas to compete with all the other Hudson Valley communities who are modernizing their transportation systems, by providing more options for the region's commuters.
