BILL NUMBER: S1548

SPONSOR: KENNEDY
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to including part of Ridge
Road in the city of Lackawanna as a state highway

 
PURPOSE:

Enactment of this legislation would designate Ridge Road in the City of
Lackawanna as a state highway, thereby relieving the city of the costs
and effort associated with the care and maintenance of such road.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 amends paragraph 1 of subdivision 14 of section 341 of the
highway law, as amended by chapter 639 of the laws of 1987, to include
the portion of Ridge Road beginning at the western line of the town of
West Seneca running generally westerly on or near Ridge Road through the
city of Lackawanna to a point on state highway 5.

 
EXISTING LAW:

Under existing law, this portion of Ridge Road is a city road.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The City of Lackawanna faces serious financial challenges. Over the past
30 years, the City has seen its revenues decrease while the cost of its
aging infrastructure continues to rise. Although city leaders should be
commenced for their efforts, the maintenance and upkeep of this portion
of Ridge Road (2.5 miles) is costly, given the poor condition of the
bridges located on this road and heavy traffic volume.

This section of Ridge Road is highly traveled and connects residents of
the city of Buffalo to NYS Route 5, a major thoroughfare and access
point to downtown Buffalo and the Southtowns. Given its central
location, many businesses use this access point to truck their goods to
locations across the state and country, increasing the wear and tear on
the road and bridge. Designating this portion of Ridge Road as a state
highway will relieve the financial burden on the municipality. The city
of Lackawanna supports this bill.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

2012: S.7365 REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION
2013: S.378 REFERRED TO TRANSPORTATION
2016: S.1463 PASSED SENATE
2017-2018: S.1832 PASSED SENATE

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None. Costs not expected to be realized for another ten years.

 
LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

Beneficial to City of Lackawanna, New York.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
Immediately.
