 Introduced by M. of A. BOLOGNA -- read once and referred to the Commit-
 tee on Transportation

 AN ACT to amend the canal law, in relation to maintaining bridges in a
 manner to not impede commercial motor vehicles

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

 1 Section 1. Section 62 of the canal law, as amended by chapter 335 of
 2 the laws of 2001, is amended to read as follows:
 3 § 62. Maintenance by state of certain bridges over the canal system.
 4 All highway or pedestrian, lift or movable bridges over the canal system
 5 other than highway bridges connecting parts of a state highway hereto-
 6 fore constructed as a part of the barge canal improvement shall be
 7 reconstructed, improved, maintained and repaired at the expense of the
 8 state, [if in the opinion of the commissioner of transportation, the
 9 public convenience requires such bridges to be maintained where no
 10 alternate crossing has been provided] in a manner so as not to impede
 11 commercial motor vehicles as defined in subdivision four-a of section
 12 two of the transportation law. In the event the commissioner of trans-
 13 portation determines that any such bridge is no longer required for the
 14 convenience of the public, [he] such commissioner shall have the power
 15 to close, remove or relocate such bridge, provided at least one public
 16 hearing shall be conducted in the community or communities where the
 17 bridge to be closed or removed is located. The commissioner of trans-
 18 portation shall have the supervision and direction of such recon-
 19 struction, improvement, maintenance, repair, closing, removing or relo-
 20 cation. All bridges over the canal system other than lift, movable,
 21 pedestrian or state highway bridges heretofore constructed as part of
 22 the barge canal improvement shall be reconstructed, improved, maintained
 23 and repaired at the expense of the state under the supervision and
 24 direction of the commissioner of transportation, if, in [his] the
 25 commissioner's opinion, the public convenience requires that each such

 1 bridge shall be continued as a bridge for highway traffic. In the event
 2 the commissioner of transportation is requested by any municipality to
 3 reconstruct or improve any such bridge, [he] such commissioner is hereby
 4 empowered to do so, provided, however, that prior to such reconstruction
 5 or improvement the municipality enters into a written agreement that
 6 such bridge thereafter shall become a part of the highway system or
 7 systems which it may connect and the maintenance, repair, improvement,
 8 replacement or closing of any such bridge shall be governed by the
 9 provisions of the highway law, except that any such bridges situate in a
 10 city shall be maintained, repaired, improved, replaced or closed in the
 11 same manner and subject to the provisions of any special law which may
 12 apply or to the same provisions of law as apply to other streets and
 13 bridges in such city or in the case of such bridges situate in a
 14 village, such bridges shall be maintained, repaired, improved, replaced
 15 or closed in the same manner and subject to the same provisions of law
 16 as apply to other streets and bridges in such village. Any bridge over
 17 the New York state canal system or abandoned part thereof which joins
 18 parts of a state highway shall be under the jurisdiction of the commis-
 19 sioner of transpo
