A Local Law to amend the administrative code of the city of New York, in relation to creation of a review process in the event of the closure of a publicly mapped street.
Be it enacted by the Council as follows:
* * *
[Consolidated provisions are not included in this Appendix A]
* * *
§ 2. This local law shall take effect one hundred eighty days after it is enacted into law and shall apply to any street closures which commence after the day this local law is enacted into law, except those street closures related to construction pursuant to a project for which a bid has been issued by the city prior to the effective date of this local law, and provided further that it shall apply to those closures initiated by a local law enforcement agency for security reasons, which, if closed prior to the enactment of this local law, shall be deemed to have commenced on the date of enactment of this local law. However, if the government entity responsible for issuing the community reassessment, impact and amelioration (CRIA) statement described in subdivision b for such closure initiated by a local law enforcement agency for security reasons and in effect on the date of enactment of this local law is unable to complete such statement within two hundred ten days of the date of enactment of this local law, the commissioner shall so notify the council member in whose district the street closure is located and the time within which to issue the CRIA statement shall be extended to no more than one hundred eighty additional days, provided that a public forum is held within the first two hundred ten days. In addition, the commissioner of transportation may take any actions necessary prior to such effective date for the implementation of this local law, and shall adopt any necessary rules including, but not limited to, rules that may require a public or private entity seeking permission for a street closure to prepare the CRIA statement.
