Bill Summary
AN ACT in relation to ordering a study and report on a proposed extension of the Long Island Motor Parkway trail, a part of the Brooklyn Queens Greenway, east from Winchester Boulevard to Little Neck Parkway in the county of Queens to the trailhead of the planned Motor Parkway trail in the county of Nassau; and providing for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
AI Summary
This bill authorizes the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation and the Office of Mental Health to jointly conduct a comprehensive study on extending the Long Island Motor Parkway trail, which is part of the Brooklyn Queens Greenway. The study must examine several key aspects of the proposed trail extension, including the total project cost, project duration, potential impacts on local traffic patterns, and environmental considerations. Additionally, the study will assess whether the trail could create a connection between the Empire State Trail and Kings, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties, and will seek input and cooperation from relevant agencies. The offices are required to submit their findings to the governor and legislature within one year of the act's effective date. The bill is temporary, with its provisions set to automatically expire one year after becoming law, which ensures a time-limited approach to conducting this specific trail extension study.
