Saugerties Area Mobility Analysis (SAMA)

SAMA is a study that has as its genesis the work that the Saugerties Village Traffic Committee has done, to look at traffic concerns in the Village. Judith Spektor heads this commitee, which also includes:

• Vernon Benjamin
• Diana Bryan
• Barbara Budik
• Brian Donoghue
• John Dragun
• Richard Frisbie
• Josepha Gutelius
• J. Helmuth
• Mary Leahy
• Dave Minch
• Leeanne Thornton
• Ron LeBlanc

The SAMA study picks up where the traffic committee's work left off, and is an expanded analysis by transportation/traffic consultants (Creighton Manning Engineering and BFJ Planning), in cooperation with Saugerties representatives (Judith Spektor, Mike Campbell, Carol Furman, Leeanne Thornton, Alex Wade, and Richard Frisbie), the Ulster County planner (Dennis Doyle), UCTC staff (Bill Tobin and Tom Mank), NYS Dept. of Transportation officials, a Thruway official, and others. The study is paid for by Federal funds (not by Village or Town taxes).

The Study began in the Fall of 2005 and is a 2-year study. The first public meeting was held in the Senior Citizens Center, on January 25th, 2006 and was one of the most successful meetings and one of the largest turnouts ever experienced by the consultants and the UCTC staff. The full report is available on the UCTC Web site

The 2nd public meeting was held July 20th, 2006 and the presentation from the consultants that was used at that meeting is available below, in PDF format.

There is an ongoing committee (Myles Putman, Judith Spektor, Alex Wade, Jeremy Kane and Mike Campbell) that continues to look into SAMA-related and transportation implementation opportunities for Saugerties (Town and Village).
