For those using the Palisades Parkway between Orange County and Rockland Counties, the cell phone “dead zones” have not only been an inconvenience, but dangerous. Many people have needed to reach Hatzolah, Police or other emergency assistance. and have been unable to make the calls.

But that is era thankfully over.

NY Senator James Skoufis announced the good news on his Facebook page on Tuesday morning.

“No more dead-zone while driving past Bear Mountain on most of the Palisades Parkway! I’m delighted to announce that construction has been completed for two cell phone towers in the notorious dead-zone on the PIP between Orange and Rockland counties”, Skoufis wrote.

“My thanks to Verizon for doing the right thing for our residents and EMS by expediting this project. Thousands of New Yorkers continue to drive through this previous dead-zone and these improvements will undoubtedly help keep residents and visitors safe, as well as make EMS services more accessible around Bear Mountain.”
