Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares that the Lefferts Boulevard Bridge is an essential almost 100- year-old structure in Kew Gardens, Queens that has been owned by the MTA/Long Island Rail Road since 1925. The bridge has been an integral and essential focal point for community life in Kew Gardens for the past century. Presently, the bridge is home to a series of longstanding local businesses, many of which have served the community, and contrib- uted substantial revenues to the MTA, for multiple generations, while hard at work in their humble storefronts on top of the bridge. For at least the past thirty years, the MTA/LIRR has let the bridge deteriorate to the point where it appears to be structurally compromised due to lack of attention, investment and proper maintenance. These neglectful and inattentive acts have led the MTA/LIRR to declare that the only option available as a next course of action is complete demolition of the bridge. However, widespread demolition is unpalatable to the community for many reasons, including displacement of the businesses, disposition of the property and disruption to essential quality of life issues. Furthermore, the affected community believes that rehabilitation and reconstruction of the bridge decking is possible and has retained its own experts to provide evidence to this effect. Additionally, the LIRR also commissioned a 2016 inspection report that indicated, in exhaustive detail, the steps necessary to repair the present deficiencies of the bridge, in contrast to demolition. However, the MTA has yet to consider these rehabilitative options, which would cost only a fraction of demo- lition. Given the vast importance of the future of the bridge, the asso- EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
