BILL NUMBER:S4128
Title of bill
An act to amend chapter 759 of the laws of 1973 relating to the transfer of lands to the United States for the establishment of the Gateway National Recreation Area, in relation to the time period in which lands may be conveyed
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation extends the time period during which lands may be transferred to U.S. for establishment of the Gateway National Recreational Area.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1. Section 5 of chapter 759 of the laws of 1973 relating to the transfer of lands to the United States for the establishment of the Gateway National Recreational Area, as amended by chapter 85 of the laws of 2008, is amended to read as follows: Section 5. All such lands shall be ceded, granted and conveyed to the United States on or before May 1, 2017.
Justification
The Gateway National Recreational Area plan is an innovative approach to the creation of urban park space. Gateway will combine recreational facilities with educational programs and an organized effort to attract the population of the entire region which this Federal project will serve.
The process of assembling the scattered properties (situated in three of the City's counties and in New Jersey) which will ultimately comprise Gateway is not yet completed, in part because the plan to create the park has taken into account the need for input from the communities it will adjoin as well as those it will serve. As amended, this legislation would mandate timely applicable community board and borough board notification and review of any future property to be ceded or conveyed as part of Gateway.
In order to permit the Gateway project to take shape at a rate which permits the participation of the parties interested in the area's ultimate success, this bill extends by two years the deadline for transfer of those properties still held by the State and City of New York which are included in the Gateway plan.
