Bill > A06690

This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), in collaboration with the New York City Department of Transportation and the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development, to conduct a comprehensive study focusing on the transportation and housing needs of Randalls and Wards Islands. The study will specifically examine ways to improve bus service frequency between these islands and other boroughs, as well as explore potential affordable housing development opportunities on the islands. The agencies are required to jointly prepare a detailed report within one year of the bill's enactment, which will be submitted to key state leadership, including the governor, senate and assembly leaders. The report must include findings and recommendations for potential legislative and regulatory actions to address the identified transportation and housing challenges. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
