                                BILL NUMBER:S5411

TITLE OF BILL:
An act
to amend the highway law, in relation to enabling safe access to public
roads for all users by utilizing complete street design principles

PURPOSE:
Enable safe access to public roads for all users by utilizing
complete street design principles

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1. Amends the highway law by adding a
new section 331.

Subdivision (a) requires all state, county and local transportation
facilities that receive both federal and state funding are subject to
department of transportation oversight to consider safe travel on the
road network by all users of all ages, including motorists,
pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transportation users through
complete design features.

Subdivision (b) Complete street design features shall include but not
be limited to: sidewalks, paved shoulders suitable for use by
bicyclists, lane stripping, bicycle lanes, share the road signage,
crosswalks, pedestrian control signalization, bus pull outs, curb

cuts, raised crosswalks and ramps and traffic calming measures while
recognizing that the needs of users of the road network vary
according to a rural, urban and suburban context.

Subdivision (c) provides for exceptions to the use of complete street
design features.

Section 2. requires a best practice report to be published by the
Department of Transportation no later than two years after the bill
becomes law

Section 3. Effective date

JUSTIFICATION:
According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), 4,092 pedestrians were killed by motorists in
2009 - an average of one death every two hours. 19 percent of these
fatalities were people ages 65 and older. In addition, the NHTSA
stated that over 59,000 pedestrians were injured by motorists in
2009, an average of one injury every 9 minutes in 2009.

Complete street design principles include sidewalks, paved shoulders
suitable for use by bicyclists, lane stripping, bicycle lanes, share
the road signage, crosswalks, pedestrian control signalization, bus
pull outs, curb cuts, raised crosswalks, ramps and traffic calming
measures designed to allow pedestrian and motor traffic to easily
coexist. A Federal Highways Administration safety review found that
streets designed with these features improve safety for all users,
enabling pedestrians to cross busy roads in two stages, improving
bicycle safety and reducing left-turning motorist crashes to zero.


The potential to reduce carbon emissions by encouraging to
lower-carbon modes of transportation is undeniable. The 2001 National
Household Transportation Survey found 50% of all trips in
metropolitan areas
are three miles or less and 28% of all metropolitan trips are less
than one mile, easy to walk, bike, or utilize mass transit. Yet 65%
of the shortest trips are now made by automobile, in part because of
incomplete streets that make it dangerous or unpleasant for other
modes of travel. Complete streets would help convert many of these
short automobile trips to multi-modal travel. Simply increasing
bicycling from 1% to 1.5% of all trips in the U.S. would save 462
million gallons of gasoline each year.

This legislation would ensure that complete streets design principles
are utilized where they would be most needed, most effective, and
most beneficial to improve safety for all who use our roadways.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:
2010: S.5711-B/A.8587-B Passed the Senate

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
To be determined.

EFFECTIVE DATE:
One hundred and eightieth day after it shall have
become law.

roads for all users by utilizing complete street design principles

PURPOSE:
Enable safe access to public roads for all users by utilizing
complete street design principles

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:
Section 1 of this bill provides legislative findings.

Section 2 subdivision (a) of this bill would provide for the
consideration of complete street design features for projects
undertaken by the Department of Transportation or undertaken by
municipalities and public authorities that receive both state and
federal funding and are subject to department of transportation
oversight. Subdivision (b) of this section provides a list of
features and elements that may be considered in complete street
design. Subdivision (c) of this section provides that if complete
street design features are not considered, a publicly available
document shall set forth the reason why these features were not
considered. This subdivision also lists exceptions that would impede
the use of complete street features. Subdivision (d) provides that

this section shall not require the department, public authority or
municipality to expend any monies for complete street design, other
than monies provided by the state and federal governments for
complete street features. Subdivision (d) does not preclude the
department, public authority or municipality from spending monies
from its own budget for complete street design features.

Section 3 of this bill provides that the Department of Transportation
shall produce a report within two years of the effective date of this
section demonstrating how the Department has complied with this
section and changed its procedures to institutionalize complete
street design features into the planning, project scoping, design and

The report shall include review and guidance regarding certain highway
features. The report should also include any best practices
identified by the Department, whether created by the department or
identified from another source.

JUSTIFICATION:
Working collaboratively with all
interested
stakeholders the Legislature and the Governor have agreed to
establish a complete street design policy that safely and cost
effectively facilitates access and improved mobility for pedestrians,
cyclists, mass transportation riders and motorists of all ages and
abilities. Such a policy benefits our environment through improved
air quality, decreased traffic congestion and the preservation of our
natural assets. Our citizens' benefit, not only from the
environmental advantages derived from a complete street policy, but


from the health benefits associated with active forms of
transportation.

This bill establishes a complete street policy that will consider the
needs of all users of our roads by encouraging good planning to
benefit a variety of citizens and encourage sustainable communities
while at the same time recognizing the economic hardship facing our
governments today.

This legislation would ensure that complete streets design principles
are utilized where they would be most needed, most effective, and
most beneficial to improve safety for all who use our roadways

CONTRARY TO, PUBLIC SAFETY.
  (D) NOTHING IN THIS SECTION SHALL BE CONSTRUED TO REQUIRE THE  DEPART-
MENT  OR  AGENCY  WITH  JURISDICTION  OVER A PROJECT TO EXPEND MONIES IN
