BILL NUMBER:S2966 REVISED 03/04/11
Title of bill
An act to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to requiring that in all new commercial development streets and abutting streets must be widened to the maximum allowable width
Purpose
Provides that new streets within abutting streets of new commercial projects in New York City be the maximum legal width.
Summary of specific provisions
Section one amends the administrative code of the city of New York by adding a new section 28-108-4.
Justification
Currently when new commercial projects are constructed in the City of New York developers of commercial and residential properties have the right to go to the Department of Transportation when filing a Builders Paving Plan (BPP) for a waiver if there is a widening line on a property.
This bill requires developers of commercial construction projects to make sure that all streets abutting such projects are the maximum legal width. This legislation ensures that the Department of Transportation does not issue waivers for new commercial construction where a street must be widened.
This proposal will assist in reducing traffic in already narrow streets where commercial developments are proposed.
