Bill > S01369

This bill provides for financing improvements to the East River Esplanade, specifically in exchange for hosting the East 91st Street Marine transfer station and to mitigate potential negative health and recreational impacts. The legislation amends the public authorities law by adding a new section that grants the corporation (likely a state or municipal development agency) the authority to finance the design, acquisition, construction, improvement, and installation of the East River Esplanade. The financing can cover various specific elements, including boat storage under 96th Street, Pier 107, and decking over the FDR Drive. The bill requires the approval of the director of the budget for these financial actions and is designed to improve the waterfront area's infrastructure and recreational facilities. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage, indicating an urgent need or desire to implement these improvements quickly.
