TITLE OF BILL:
An act to amend chapter 544 of the laws of 2022, authorizing the city of
New York to discontinue a portion of real property in the county of the
Bronx as parkland and to grant easements for improvements to the rail-
road right-of-way to bring Metro-North railroad service to four new
stations in the Bronx and to Pennsylvania Station in the county, in
relation to making technical corrections thereto; to repeal section 6 of
chapter 544 of the laws of 2022, authorizing the city of New York to
discontinue a portion of real property in the county of the Bronx as
parkland and to grant easements for improvements to the railroad right-
of-way to bring Metro-North railroad service to four new stations in the
Bronx and to Pennsylvania Station in the county; and to authorize the
city of New York to discontinue a portion of real property in the county
of the Bronx as parkland and to grant easements for improvements to the
railroad right-of-way to bring Metro-North railroad service to four new
stations in the Bronx and to Pennsylvania Station in the county of New
York
PURPOSE:
This bill will make technical corrections to Chapter 544 of the laws of 2022 to correct typographical errors, delete easements which are no longer required, and add easements as a consequence of design refine- ment. This amended bill would authorize the City of New York to alienate certain parcels of land to enable the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to make critical improvements related to Penn Station Access Project which would enable Metro-North passengers to travel directly into Penn Station. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Sections 1 and 6 authorize the City of New York to discontinue select parkland as detailed within sections three and six of the bill, to further the implementation of the Penn Station Access Project. Sections 2 and 7 require that MTA provide appropriate consideration to the City of New York in exchange for the granted easements and estab- lishes the relevant processes; it being the intent that such consider- ation will be determined after granting of such easements by the City pursuant to the provisions of Section 1266(12-a) of the Public Authori- ties Law, as it may apply. Sections 3 and 8 identify the metes and bounds of those portions of parkland that are proposed to be discontinued as parkland. Section 4 requires that to the extent there was any federal funding for the purchase, maintenance or improvement of the parklands being discon- tinued, compliance with all federal and state requirements, with respect to the appropriate consideration and recreational usefulness of the lands being discontinued, have been met. Section 5. Repeals Section 6 of chapter 544 of the laws of 2022. Section 9 provides that the bill shall take effect immediately but shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after August 17, 2022. EXISTING LAW: Current legislation authorizes the City of New York to alienate certain parcels of land to enable the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) and its affiliates to make critical improvements in connection with the Penn Station Access Project. JUSTIFICATION: The Penn Station Access- Project seeks to allow commuters and other train passengers in the Northern suburbs of the New York City Metropol- itan area and Connecticut to access the West side of Midtown Manhattan more easily for working, business meetings, shopping, entertainment, dining, and other purposes. Currently, such train passengers are limited to Grand Central Terminal, and can only reach the West side through some combination of walking, taxi, bus, or subway, each of which presents its own obstacles of time, cost, and inconvenience. By bringing Metro-North trains directly into Penn Station, The Metropolitan Transportation Authority will provide an efficient and convenient method for seamless integration of travel to destinations on the West side of Manhattan for passengers who would otherwise be restricted to traversing through Grand Central Terminal and engaging in supplemental travel by pedestrian, car, bus, or subway service. This project is intended to supplement The Metropolitan Transportation Authority's related plan to bring trains of the Long Island Rail Road directly into Grand Central Terminal commonly known as "East Side Access" that promises to allow commuters and other train passengers using the Long Island Rail Road to directly access the East side of Midtown, Manhattan for working, business meetings, shopping, enter- tainment, dining, and other purposes. Until now, Metro-North trains only terminated at Grand Central Terminal in Midtown Manhattan, and Long Island Rail Road trains only terminated at Penn Station in Midtown Manhattan (although some of these trains terminated at Atlantic Terminal in Brooklyn). The Penn Station Access Project addresses half of this situation by allowing Metro-North passengers direct access to the West side of Midtown Manhattan, and the East Side Access Project addresses the other half of this situation by allowing Long Island Rail Road passengers direct access to the East side of Midtown Manhattan. This integration is further bolstered by the fact that for the Penn Station Access Project, Metro-North trains will be allowed to use existing Amtrak rails along Amtrak's Northeast corridor to connect Metro-North's existing rail lines to Penn Station. Metro-North plans to install and construct four new station buildings along Amtrak's line to facilitate better service availability for projected Metro-North customers seeking quicker and easier access to the West side of Midtown Manhattan. This bill will make technical corrections to Chapter 544 of the laws of 2022 to correct typographical errors that are necessary, delete ease- ments which are no longer required and add new easements identified during design refinement so legislation matches the actual and correct metes and bounds description of the parkland being alienated as set forth in the property survey and the final easements transferring the property rights. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This bill is an amendment to Chapter 544 of the laws of 2022 with addi- tion of new easements per design refinement. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately.

PURPOSE:
This bill will make technical corrections to Chapter 544 of the laws of 2022 to correct typographical errors, delete easements which are no longer required, and add easements as a consequence of design refine- ment. This amended bill would authorize the City of New York to alienate certain parcels of land to enable the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) to make critical improvements related to Penn Station Access Project which would enable Metro-North passengers to travel directly into Penn Station. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: Section 1 authorizes the City of New York to discontinue select parkland as detailed within sections three and six of the bill, to further the implementation of the Penn Station Access Project. Section 2 requires that MTA provide appropriate consideration to the City of New York in exchange for the granted easements and establishes the relevant processes; it being the intent that such consideration will be determined after granting of such easements by the City pursuant to the provisions of Section 1266(12-a) of the Public Authorities Law, as it may apply. Section 3 makes technical corrections to the metes and bounds of those portions of parkland that are proposed to be discontinued as parkland and removes the metes and bounds for two subsurface easements that are no longer needed by MTA. Section 4 makes technical corrections to the language that requires that to the extent there was any federal funding for the purchase, mainte- nance or exis ting rail lines to Penn Station. Metro-North plans to install and construct four new station buildings along Amtrak's line to facilitate better service availability for projected Metro-North custom- ers seeking quicker and easier access to the West side of Midtown Manhattan. This bill will make technical corrections to Chapter 544 of the laws of 2022 to correct typographical errors that are necessary, delete ease- ments which are no longer required and add new easements identified during design refinement so legislation matches the actual and correct metes and bounds description of the parkland being alienated as set forth in the property survey and the final easements transferring the property rights. EXISTING LAW: None JUSTIFICATION: Bronx constituents deserve more access to Metro-North railroad stations. These four stations greatly help them travel and easily access Penn Station. This greatly helps constituents. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY: This bill is an amendment to Chapter 544 of the laws of 2022 with addi- tion of new easements per design refinement. FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None LOCAL FISCAL IMPLICATIONS: None EFFECTIVE DATE: This act shall take effect immediately and shall be deemed to have been in full force and effect on and after August 17, 2022.
