BILL NUMBER:S973

TITLE OF BILL:

An act
to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a certain highway in
the city of Norwich, county of Chenango, as a state arterial highway

PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

This bill designates a portion of state Route 23 as an arterial
route of the State Highway system that passes through the City of
Norwich.

SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Adds a third subdivision to section 349-E making a 2.8 mile stretch of
highway an arterial route to the state highway system.

JUSTIFICATION:

Currently, two state Routes that. pass through the City of Norwich are
designated under the State Highway Law. However, a third highway,
State Route 23, traverses the City of Norwich on three streets
(Pleasant, Rexford, and Plymouth Street). This comprises the longest
state route that passes through the City, and should be designated as
an arterial route.

The City of Norwich currently carries the unfair burden of arterial
maintenance for the 1.51 mile stretch of Route 23, and during these
tough economic times, this change will help the City of Norwich
maintain the vital arterial route through Chenango County and the
South Central Tier.

LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

S.3138 - Enacting Clause Stricken

FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

None.

EFFECTIVE DATE:

This act shall take effect immediately.
