BILL NUMBER:S6671A
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to state highways in the village of Medina, Orleans county
Purpose
The bill will exchange ownership and maintenance responsibility between the village of Medina and the State of New York regarding roads in such village.
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Subdivision of 35 of section 341 of the highway law is amended by adding a new paragraph 3.
Paragraph 3 - authorizes and directs the commissioner to assume juris- diction for state highway purposes over the village roads described as follows: the portion of newly rerouted 63, reserved as state highway nine thousand five hundred sixty two known as North Main St, from the intersection of Glenwood avenue northerly to West avenue, and the portion of newly routed sixty-three, also reserved as state highway nine thousand five hundred sixty-two, known as commercial street, from the intersection of West avenue northerly to Prospect avenue and to transfer to the village of Medina for future maintenance as part of the village of Medina of streets; and to issue official orders of abandonment of those portions of highways described as follows: the portion of state highway five thousand three hundred fifteen previously routed NY sixty- three known as West Center Street, the intersection of Prospect avenue easterly to the intersection of of North and South Main Streets; a portion of state highway five thousand three hundred fifteen previously routed NY sixty three known as Prospect avenue from West Center street northerly to Commercial street.
Justification
During the course of a recently completed pass-thru road reconstruction project, it was determined by both the NYS Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) and the village of Medina that it would be best to reroute State Route 63 in the village to improve traffic patterns and reduce the unwanted side effects of heavy truck traffic in residential neighbor- hoods, such as noise, pollution, and wear and tear on road surfaces.
This legislation is necessary to finalize the jurisdictional transfer and maintenance responsibilities of certain sections of roadways between the NYSDOT and the village of Medina, which has already been mutually agreed to.
Bill history
None.
Fiscal implications
None - The NYSDOT is transferring to the village of Medina slightly more mileage than it will receive in exchange. The jurisdictional transfer will remove a net .48 lane miles from NYSDOT's highway inventory.
