BILL NUMBER:S2790A
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to expanding that portion of the state highway system designated as the "Shawangunk East Wine Trail"
Purpose
Over the past few years, the west bank of the Hudson River has experienced new growth in the number of wineries and vineyards that are located in the counties of Orange and Ulster. This bill expands the state routes that are included on the already existing Shawangunk East Wine Trail.
Summary of provisions
Section 1: Amends subdivision 6-a of Section 343-k of the highway law so that all the portion of the state highway system constituting route 32 from its intersection with route 17 in Washingtonville to the unincorporated community of the Vails Gate within the town of New Windsor. route 94 to route 9-W in the town of New Windsor, route 9-W to routes 44 and 55 in the unincorporated community of Highland within the town of Lloyd, and routes 44 and 55 to its intersection with route 208 in the town of Gardiner shall be designated and known as the "Shawangunk East Wine Trail."
Section 2: Effective Date.
Existing law
Under current law route 94 from its intersection with route 208 in Washingtonville to route 9-W in New Windsor, route 9-W to routes 44 and 55 in Highland, and routes 44 and 55 to its intersection with route 208 in Gardiner constitute the "Shawangunk East Wine Trail".
Justification
The "Shawangunk East Wine Trail" has been extremely successful in helping Hudson Valley wineries attract customers. This designation will allow new wineries to participate in the Shawangunk East Trail. This new reconfiguration will also draw new attention to the trail and serve to attract additional visitors to it.
