Bill > S09718

This bill amends the Highway Law to require state, county, and local transportation projects that receive federal and state funding and are subject to Department of Transportation oversight to consider complete street design features in the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of such projects, as well as in the resurfacing, maintenance, and pavement recycling of such projects if the service life of the project is at least 10 years. The bill also amends the criteria for exempting projects from these requirements, allowing for an exemption based on a demonstrated lack of community support.
