Low ridership leads Dutchess County Transit to cut stops in Dover, Wassaic

POUGHKEEPSIE — Starting in early 2025, public transit ridership in Dutchess County will see modifications to routes throughout the county.

Northern Dutchess riders will see changes to Route D service, which currently runs between Poughkeepsie and Dover. Its easternmost stop will now be in the village of Millbrook. Due to low ridership, Dover and Wassaic stops on Route D will be eliminated.

In addition to the route changes, Dutchess ridership will also see expanded service and greater exchanges of information with the public regarding improvements and updates coupled with web-based tracking and the creation of the new, enhanced SPOT app which replaced the DoubleMap app in October. Some of the features on SPOT include real-time updates and customization abilities.

According to county executive Sue Serino, the upcoming revisions are the result of public input and subsequent government response. “Over the past year, we have listened to our community’s concerns and input about bus service,” Serino said. “The team at Dutchess County Public Transit has worked tirelessly to fine-tune fixed-route changes, addressing the various concerns and ensuring efficiency in the bus system to keep it sustainable for the future.”

On Thursday, Oct. 30, from 5:30 to 7 p.m., the Norfolk Library will host a free public screening of “Tiananmen Tonight,” a film by Bestor Cram and Michael Streissguth about the 1989 student uprising in China and the daring coverage by Dan Rather and CBS. Director Cram will introduce the film.

A documentary filmmaker whose life was forged in the fire of Vietnam, where he served as a Marine, Cram earned the Navy Commendation Medal. He returned home to become a conscientious objector and leader of Vietnam Veterans Against the War. After working in the MIT Film Studies Program, he founded Northern Light Productions in Boston, producing media for museums, and has made more than 30 feature documentary films.

Vincent Inconiglios brings ‘Face Time’ to Hunt Library

Vincent Inconiglios brings ‘Face Time’ to Hunt Library
Artist Vincent Inconiglio’s show “Face Time” opens Oct. 25 at the Hunt Library.
L. Tomaino

Abstract artist Vincent Inconiglios' love and enthusiasm for color and form are evident all around him at his Falls Village studio, where he has worked for 25 years. He is surrounded by paintings large and small, woodcuts, photographs, collages and arrays of found objects.

The objects Inconiglios has found while out walking — in Falls Village, near his studio on Gansevoort Street in New York City, and in other places throughout the world — hold special importance to him. Appreciation of them, he says, comes from “seeing while exploring. I am always finding things.” His particular delight is finding objects that look like faces, many of which will be featured in the ArtWall show at the Hunt Library.
