Bill > A07782

This bill amends the Highway Law to require that all state, county, and local transportation projects that receive federal and state funding and are subject to Department of Transportation oversight consider the needs of all users, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation users, through the use of complete street design features. The bill removes an exception for resurfacing, maintenance, and pavement recycling projects, and clarifies the criteria for determining a demonstrated lack of need for complete street features. The bill takes effect immediately but does not apply to projects already underway.
