                                 BILL NUMBER:  S2486

 TITLE OF BILL :
An act to direct the department of transportation to retain
jurisdiction over and continue to maintain the state route 219 bridge
over Cattaraugus Creek/Zoar Valley, in the counties of Cattaraugus and
Erie


 PURPOSE :
Directs the NYS Department of Transportation to retain jurisdiction
and maintenance for the route 219 bridge (bridge identification number
1041590) which traverses Cattaraugus Creek and Zoar Valley.

 SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS :
NYS Unconsolidated Law is amended to direct the NYS Department of
Transportation to retain jurisdiction and responsibility for the
maintenance of the State Route 219 bridge (bridge identification
number 1041590) that crosses Cattaraugus Creek and Zoar Valley in the
Counties of Cattaraugus and Erie.

 JUSTIFICATION :
In response to the NYS Department of Transportation (DOT) attempting
to divest itself of the Route 219 bridge (BIN
 1041590) at the expense of Cattaraugus and Erie Counties, this
legislation directs the NYS DOT to retain jurisdiction and maintenance

responsibilities for this bridge.

Jurisdiction and maintenance for the Route 219 bridge (BIN
1041590) should remain an obligation of the State in order to ensure
public safety and continuity of service to the public which
Cattaraugus and Erie Counties are not able to provide should such
transfer occur, A transfer of maintenance responsibilities would bring
a huge financial burden of $2 million in annual preventative and
corrective maintenance which the Counties are unable to bear in the
short or long term. Erie County, which is subject to a Control Board,
and rural Cattaraugus County, with its large senior population which
subsist on fixed incomes, are not able to compensate for the enormous
fiscal responsibility engendered by a transfer of jurisdiction for
this bridge. West Valley Nuclear Services also utilizes this bridge
which is charged by federal mandate to clean up the only commercial
nuclear fuel reprocessing facility ever operated in the United States

 LEGISLATIVE HISTORY :
S.6765 of 2007-08 - Passed Senate

 FISCAL IMPLICATIONS :
No new fiscal implications to the State.

 EFFECTIVE DATE :
This act shall take effect immediately.
