Bill > S05152

This bill appropriates $2,000,000 from the state treasury's general fund to the New York State Department of Transportation specifically for capital improvements to the Kew Gardens, Lefferts Boulevard bridge. The funding is designated for structural and full remediation of the bridge's outside wall, with the money to be released upon certification and approval by the state comptroller in consultation with the transportation commissioner. The appropriation is flexible, meaning the full $2 million does not have to be spent if the repairs can be completed for less, and the act will take effect immediately upon passage. This type of targeted appropriation bill is common in state legislatures, allowing for specific infrastructure repair and maintenance projects to be funded through the state budget.
