BILL NUMBER:S4455
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to adding the Mountain Cloves scenic byway into the state scenic byways system
Purpose
To add various state, county, and local roads in the Town of Hunter in Greene County to the New York State Scenic Byway System, and to designate such roads the "Mountain Cloves Scenic Byway."
Summary of provisions
Adds new paragraph j-12 to subdivision 1 of Section 349-dd of the Highway Law, including the Mountain Cloves Scenic Byway as a component of the New York State Scenic Byways System.
Justification
On October 17, 2012 the NYS Scenic Byways Advisory Board recommended the designation of the "Mountain Cloves Scenic Byway" as a New York State Scenic Byway.
The proposed 41-mile corridor includes portions of several state, county, and local roads that are currently designated as Scenic Byways under paragraph (k) of subdivision 1 of Section 349-dd of the Highway Law. This proposal would link all the existing scenic road sections with additional sections to create one continuous scenic byway.
Many benefits accrue to communities through which scenic byways pass, including: increased economic benefits through tourism; improved traveler and community services; more careful stewardship of the byway corridor; and potential federal grants to develop the scenic byway.
