Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to enabling safe access to public roads for all users by utilizing complete street design principles
AI Summary
This bill amends the New York highway law to expand the requirements for complete street design principles, which aim to make roads safer and more accessible for all users, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation users. The legislation broadens the existing law by requiring complete street design features to be considered not only during the planning, design, construction, reconstruction, and rehabilitation of transportation projects, but also during resurfacing, maintenance, and pavement recycling projects that have a service life of at least ten years. Additionally, the bill clarifies language around exceptions to complete street design requirements, specifically modifying the criteria for demonstrating a lack of need for such design features. The changes include allowing exemptions based on factors like land use, current and projected traffic volumes, population density, and community support. The bill will take effect 180 days after becoming law and will not apply to transportation projects already undertaken or approved prior to its enactment.
