Bill > S01941

This bill authorizes and directs the New York State Department of Transportation to conduct a comprehensive study on proposed improvements to State Route 303 in the town of Orangetown, Rockland County. The study must examine multiple aspects of potential roadway improvements, including the estimated costs of new barrier installations and left-turn lanes, the impact on traffic patterns and timing, the projected project duration, and potential environmental consequences. The department is required to prepare an environmental impact statement if legally mandated or deemed necessary. Additionally, the bill calls for the department to identify opportunities for inter-agency cooperation and to incorporate input from relevant agencies. The department must submit its findings to the governor and state legislature within one year of the act's effective date. The legislation is designed to be temporary, with the provisions automatically repealing one year after the act becomes law, ensuring that the study is conducted within a specific timeframe and does not create permanent changes to existing regulations.
