The Village has been exploring different ideas or "concepts" for new buildings and open space in the study area. The purpose of these ideas is to help the community imagine the many different ways that Tarrytown's vision for this area can be achieved. They show ways the land can be used and how buildings and open spaces can be arranged. They also show how these elements can be physically and visually connected to make it easy to get around the station area and connect with Downtown. These concepts are discussed in detail in the recently released report: Tarrytown, Connected.

​The concepts described in this report illustrate different development ideas in order to help the Village to understand general visual, traffic and fiscal impacts associated with different land uses and densities on potential development sites. They are not actual development proposals. Specific proposals for individual sites in the study area are expected to be developed in the future and will be subject to public review.​​

No matter what type of development happens in the station area, some basic improvements are needed to better connect the station area with downtown, make it a people place and make it green. This could include:

• ​Redesigning Cortlandt Street as a boulevard with nicer sidewalks, street trees, landscaping and street furniture
• Improving sidewalks along the H-bridge and along Main & White Streets to make it more pleasant to get across the tracks and walk up & down the hill
• Reopening the pedestrian tunnel or building a new pedestrian bridge across the tracks
• Improving Sarah Michaels Park
• Creating a direct pedestrian connection between Tarrytown Station and Sleepy Hollow
