Bill Summary
AN ACT to amend the public service law, in relation to directing the public service commission to require public utility companies to remove or relocate utility poles upon the completion of public roadway improvements
AI Summary
This bill directs the New York Public Service Commission to establish new rules requiring public utility companies to remove or relocate utility poles within 90 days after the completion of road improvement projects. Specifically, when a state or local government entity completes construction or improvements to a public roadway, they can notify the utility company about the need to move utility poles that may now obstruct or interfere with the roadway. The utility company must then promptly relocate or remove those poles within a 90-day window of receiving such notice. This legislation aims to streamline infrastructure improvements by ensuring that utility infrastructure can be adjusted quickly to accommodate road upgrades, potentially improving road safety, traffic flow, and overall transportation infrastructure efficiency.
