 Introduced by Sens. GOUNARDES, HOYLMAN-SIGAL, KRUEGER -- read twice and

 Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the highway law, in relation to requiring certain state
 and local transportation projects to include complete street design

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Section 331 of the highway law, as added by chapter 398 of
 2 the laws of 2011, is amended to read as follows:
 3 § 331. [Consideration] Inclusion of complete street design. (a) For
 4 all state, county and local transportation projects that are undertaken
 5 by the department or receive both federal and state funding and are
 6 subject to department of transportation oversight, the department or
 7 agency with jurisdiction over such projects shall [consider] include the
 8 convenient access and mobility on the road network by all users of all
 9 ages, including motorists, pedestrians, bicyclists, and public transpor-
 10 tation users [through] by requiring the use of complete street design
 11 features as the controlling criteria and design guidance for engineers
 12 in the planning, design, construction, reconstruction and rehabili-
 13 tation, but not including resurfacing, maintenance, or pavement recycl-
 14 ing of such projects. The department of transportation shall create a
 15 scoring template for projects based upon the complete streets checklist
 16 to ensure prioritization of users that walk, bike or utilize public
 17 transport. This scoring template shall prioritize pedestrian and cyclist
 18 safety and projects that make improvements in areas of high pedestrian,
 19 cyclist, or public transportation demand. The department shall establish
 20 a minimum scoring threshold and shall not approve any project which does
 21 not meet such minimum score.
 22 (b) Complete street design features are roadway design features that
 23 accommodate and facilitate convenient access and mobility by all users,
 24 including current and projected users, particularly pedestrians, bicy-
 25 clists and individuals of all ages and abilities. These features may
 26 include, but need not be limited to: sidewalks, paved shoulders suitable
 27 for use by bicyclists, lane striping, bicycle lanes, share the road

 1 signage, crosswalks, road diets, pedestrian control signalization, bus
 2 pull outs, curb cuts, raised crosswalks and ramps and traffic calming
 3 measures; and recognize that the needs of users of the road network vary
 4 according to a rural, urban and suburban context. A project which is
 5 solely focused on either pedestrians or bicyclists or public transporta-
 6 tion users shall not be required to include design features for the
 7 other categories in its design.
 8 (c) This section shall not apply if it has been determined and set
 9 forth in publicly available documents that one of the following exists:
 10 (i) use by bicyclists and pedestrians is prohibited by law, such as
 11 within interstate highway corridors; or
 12 (ii) the cost would be disproportionate to the need as determined by
 13 factors including, but not limited to, the following: land use context;
 14 current and projected traffic volumes; and population density; or
 15 (iii) demonstrated lack of need as determined by factors, includi
