BILL NUMBER: S8759

SPONSOR: AMEDORE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to the New York state
scenic byways system

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

To name and describe various state, county, and local roads in the Towns
of Durham and Windham in Greene County as the "Durham Valley Scenic
Byway".

 
SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS:

Section one adds a new paragraph j-14 to subdivision 1 of section 349-dd
of the highway law, including the Durham Valley Scenic Byway as a compo-
nent of the New York State Scenic Byways system.

Section two provides for an immediate effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The proposed roadways were designated as scenic roads by the New York
State Department of Environmental Conservation prior to the creation of
the New York State Scenic Byways program by the State Legislature in
1992 (paragraph k of subdivision 1 of section 349-dd of the Highway
Law). However, these roadways have not been specifically identified in
law as such.

This legislation, following the recommendation of the New York State
Scenic Byway Advisory Board, would name and describe the "Durham Valley
Scenic Byway" in a manner similar to other New York State Scenic Byways.
This proposal would also link the existing scenic road sections with
additional sections to remove all gaps in the route to create one
continuous scenic byway.

Scenic byways provide tremendous benefits to the communities through
which they pass, including increased economic benefits from tourism,
improved traveler and community services, more careful environmental
stewardship of the byway corridor, and the potential to access federal
grants to develop the byway.

 
PRIOR LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS FOR STATE AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS:

None.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately.
