Bill > S02018

This bill authorizes the town of Montague in Lewis County to designate certain town roads as low-volume or minimum maintenance roads by amending the highway law. Specifically, the bill modifies an existing provision of the highway law that previously only included the town of Lorraine in Jefferson County to now also include the town of Montague in Lewis County. Low-volume roads typically refer to roads with minimal traffic and potentially reduced maintenance standards, which can help local governments manage transportation infrastructure more efficiently, especially in rural areas with limited resources. The bill would take effect immediately, but the amendment to the highway law would be considered repealed when the original section of law is set to expire. This change gives the town of Montague the same flexibility in road classification that was previously granted to the town of Lorraine, allowing local officials more discretion in managing their road network.
