Bill > S06011

This bill amends the New York State Highway Law to include a specific portion of Ridge Road in the city of Lackawanna as a state highway. The bill adds language to an existing section of the highway law that lists various state highways, inserting a new route description that begins at the western line of the town of West Seneca and runs generally westerly on or near Ridge Road through the city of Lackawanna, connecting to state highway five. This means that the specified segment of Ridge Road will now be officially recognized and maintained as part of the state highway system, which typically involves state funding for maintenance and improvements. The amendment is a technical change that formally incorporates this road segment into the state's highway infrastructure, potentially providing benefits such as standardized maintenance, potential future road improvements, and official recognition of the roadway's importance to the local transportation network. The bill is set to take effect immediately upon becoming law.
