Bill > S01897

This bill amends the New York State Highway Law to officially designate a specific route connecting Cayuga and Seneca Lakes as the "Between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes Wine Trail". The designated route includes state route 96 from its intersection with state route 13 in Ithaca, continuing to the intersection of state routes 96, 414, and 96A in Ovid, then following state route 96A to Geneva, and finally proceeding on state routes 5 & 20 to its intersection with state route 14. This designation is part of a broader effort to recognize and promote New York's wine tourism regions, adding this new wine trail to an existing list of designated wine trails in the state. The bill aims to highlight the region's wine-related attractions and potentially boost tourism by creating an official, named route that connects various wineries and scenic locations between Cayuga and Seneca Lakes. The amendment takes effect immediately upon passage.
