BILL NUMBER:S6768
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system to be known as the "Peconic highway"
Purpose
Designates a portion of the state highway system to be known as the "Peconic Highway."
Summary of provisions
The highway law is amended by adding a new section 342-aaa to designate the portion of the state highway system known as state Route 24 which is located in the towns of Southampton and Brookhaven, county of Suffolk, which begins at the westerly junction of interstate 495 and ends at the easterly junction of State Route 27 as the "Peconic Highway".
Justification
New York State Route 24, an 11 mile long highway which begins at Exit 71 off the Long Island Expressway, runs through the Towns of Brookhaven and Southampton, and ends at Montauk Highway in Hampton Bays. Route 24 follows the Peconic River, a New York State protected and ecologically significant wild, Scenic and Recreational River. Route 24 also hugs the shoreline of the federally recognized Peconic Estuary; an estuary which is the central driving economic force for the Peconic region. NY Route 24 links downtown Riverhead-with the South Fork and provides an easy route to connect the North and South Forks of the Peconic Region. Route 24 also houses many culturally and historically significant landmarks indigenous to the Peconic Region. This legislation would designate State Route 24 beginning at is westerly junction with Interstate 495 (Long Island Expressway) and ending at its easterly junction with State Route 27 (Sunrise Highway)as the "Peconic Highway".
