S 9132 New York Senate · 2023 Regular Session

Authorizes the discontinuance of parkland and the granting of easements for improvements to the Metro-North railroad

This bill authorizes the City of New York to stop using specific parklands in the Bronx and grant land easements to the Metropolitan Transportation Authority. The primary goal is to enable the construction of improvements for the Penn Station Access project, which aims to bring Metro-North commuter rail service to four new stations in the Bronx and to Pennsylvania Station. The legislation outlines the exact boundaries of the land to be affected and includes conditions requiring the city to satisfy federal requirements if any federal funds were used for the parkland. Additionally, the bill amends previous laws to ensure these new provisions are legally recognized and implemented.
