The Town of Mamakating may close Exit 114 on Mamakating Road off Route 17, soon to be I-86. This is part of the New York State Route 17 Mobility and Access Improvements Project. The exit is considered incomplete and hazardous, leading authorities to propose its removal.

Local residents and business owners have started a petition against the closure, stating that Exit 114 is essential for community access and local business. They are urging the New York State Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration to upgrade and keep the exit open.

The petition can be signed at the Town Clerk's office in the Town Hall. Community members are encouraged to sign the petition.
