Bill > S02714

This bill amends the New York Highway Law to require the use of "complete street design principles" in the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of state, county, and local transportation projects that receive federal and state funding and are subject to Department of Transportation oversight. This includes resurfacing, maintenance, and pavement recycling projects, which were previously excluded. The bill also clarifies the criteria for determining a "demonstrated lack of need" that would allow an exemption from the complete street design requirement.
