Introduced by M. of A. LENTOL, DAVILA, BARRON, MOSLEY -- Multi-Sponsored
by -- M. of A. NIOU -- read once and referred to the Committee on
Corporations, Authorities and Commissions
AN ACT to amend the public authorities law and the vehicle and traffic
law, in relation to mitigating the closure of the L subway line in the
city of New York; and to amend the public authorities law, the vehicle
and traffic law and the public officers law, in relation to establish-
ing a temporary high-occupancy vehicle program on the Williamsburg
bridge by means of mobile or stationary photo devices; and providing
for the repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
Section 1. Legislative intent. The L subway line is of vital impor-
tance to commuters, the local community, and businesses within the
service area of the line. Hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers ride the
line on a daily basis, and such ridership volume is essential to the
economic vitality of nearby businesses. Officials from the metropolitan
transportation authority (MTA) have indicated that portions of the L
subway line will be temporarily closed for repair work beginning in
April of 2019. The closure is anticipated to last fifteen months and
affect all L subway line stations west of the Bedford Avenue Station.
The temporary closure of the L subway line will cause individual and
economic hardships for those who rely on the line for transportation and
economic opportunities. Currently, there is no statutory requirement
that would mandate the MTA to develop a plan to address the impacts of
such a closure, allow for public feedback, and provide the plan to the
community. It is the intent of the legislature that there be a legal
requirement for the MTA to consider and address all of the impacts of
such a significant closure and provide a plan to the public in a timely
manner. Such plan shall require the MTA to address timelines involved
with the proposed closure, transportation alternatives to accommodate

LBD04683-01-9 A. 2730 2 diverted riders, transportation facility improvements and expansion, the authority to utilize bus lane cameras to facilitate alternative forms of transportation, and provide for public input throughout the planning process and the L subway line closure. Public notice and involvement throughout the process is essential so that everyday riders are able to adjust their commuting habits and businesses are able to adapt to such a change as a result of the closure. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the L subway line closure and its impacts are a signif- icant concern. The legislature further finds and declares that the MTA shall be required to have a plan, prior to the L subway line closure, that would mitigate the effects of, and accommodate those affected by, the closure. Finally, the legislature finds and declares that such plan shall provide for public input and be provided to the community. § 2.
