Bill > S05626

This bill amends the New York State Highway Law to designate several streets in the city of Newburgh as state highways. Specifically, the bill adds new route descriptions that include Water Street (running from the northern line of the hamlet of New Windsor northerly through Newburgh), Leroy Place (running northwesterly through Newburgh), North Street (running westerly through Newburgh), Plank Road (running westerly through Newburgh to route 9W), and South Street (running easterly from the southeastern line of the Gardnertown hamlet to Water Street). These additions expand the existing list of state highway routes in Orange County, effectively bringing these local streets under state highway jurisdiction. By incorporating these streets into the state highway system, the bill ensures that these roads will receive state-level maintenance and potentially qualify for state transportation funding. The bill takes effect immediately upon becoming law, allowing for prompt implementation of the new highway designations.
