 AN ACT directing the department of transportation to conduct a study  on
   the feasibility of removing interstate 787
 
   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

   Section 1. 1. The department of transportation shall conduct  a  study
 to  determine  the  feasibility  of  removing interstate 787 (I-787) and
 replacing it with traffic features that will allow easier access to  the
 Hudson river waterfront and provide reasonable traffic operations.
   2.  Such  study shall examine the challenges, opportunities, cost, and
 environmental impact of replacing interstate 787 with  traffic  features
 that  would provide reasonable traffic operations and promote pedestrian
 access to the Hudson river waterfront, including, but  not  limited  to,
 at-grade  boulevards,  lane narrowing, reduction of the number of lanes,
 potential rail stations and more pedestrian and  multi-modal  access  to
 such  waterfront. Such study shall consider the findings of the existing
 I-787/Hudson Waterfront Corridor Study completed by the Capital District
 Transportation Committee.
   3. Upon completion of such study, but no later than one year from  the
 effective date of this act, the department of transportation shall issue
 a report based on the findings of such study to the governor, the tempo-
 rary  president  of  the  senate  and  the speaker of the assembly. Such
 report shall include, but not be limited to:
   (a) the findings of such study;
   (b) any short-term and long-term actions that can  be  implemented  by
 the  department of transportation, a plan of action for such implementa-
 tion, and the estimated cost of such implementation plan;
   (c) a modeling of potential alternative traffic  features  that  would
 replace interstate 787; and
   (d) any recommendations to the governor and legislature.
   § 2. This act shall take effect immediately.
