§ 107. Use of streets; municipal consent. Every such freight terminal
corporation may acquire, use and enjoy the privilege to cross or
otherwise use the streets adjacent to any terminal way or terminal
station with the consent and on such terms as may be imposed by the
local authority in control thereof, and subject to the approval of the
commissioner of transportation. If such approval be granted, the
commissioner of transportation shall issue a certificate (1) that such
privilege is needed for public use; (2) that the exercise of such
privilege will leave the street in the main available for ordinary
street uses; and (3) that the exercise of such privilege will enhance
and improve the service afforded by such street to the public. Such
privilege shall be revocable by the city on such notice, not exceeding
one year, as may be specified therein; but such revocation shall not be
effective unless the commissioner of transportation approve of the same
and certify that such privilege is no longer needed for public use or
that the exercise of such privilege has failed to enhance or improve the
service afforded by such street to the public.
