Introduction and Purpose The Genesee Transportation Council (GTC) is responsible for transportation planning in the nine-county Genesee-Finger Lakes region, which includes Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates Counties. Trails represent a growing segment of the regional transportation network, driven primarily by demands for alternative transportation options, close-to-home recreational opportunities, and improved quality of life in the region. The Genesee-Finger Lakes region is already home to over 135 miles of multi-use trails, including: 40 miles of Canalway Trail in Wayne and Orleans Counties, Over 50 miles of the Genesee Valley Greenway, a trail that will eventually connect Monroe, Livingston, and Wyoming Counties with the Southern Tier, Almost 25 miles in the Ontario Pathways trail system in Ontario County, and Numerous other local multi-use trails in area communities. In addition, there are over $4 million of multi-use trail projects under development as of Fall 2003 in the non-TMA region. These projects will create nearly 30 miles of new multi-use trail, increasing the non-TMA region’s multi-use trail mileage to 166 miles. Trails play an integral role in the quality of life of a region and, specifically, have provided significant recreational, economic, transportation, and ecological benefits to the non-TMA region. Trails can: Provide off-street routes to walk or bicycle to work, school, local stores, and services Provide a variety of close-to-home recreational opportunities for residents of communities Create an economic development tool for attracting tourists, new businesses, and new residents Be an important resource for those who are concerned with maintaining or improving their health (studies conducted by the Center for Disease Control) Preserve community character and natural heritage, offering residents and visitors a new way to discover special places within our communities Provide an enjoyable place for people of all ages to experience the great outdoors and presents opportunities to teach young people about the natural environment Provide critical routes for wildlife and protects stream corridors and ridge lines Strengthen community cohesion by bringing people together to plan, build, and use trails Numerous trail organizations in the area work with communities and local and state agencies to develop and maintain trails for use by residents of and visitors to the Genesee-Finger Lakes region. Genesee Transportation Council 3 Regional Trails Initiative – Phase 2 March 2004 Final Report However, despite this existing system of trails and high level of community support, this region lacks a coordinated strategy to develop an interconnected trail system. Additionally, recent air quality concerns related to this region’s potential designation as a non- attainment area for ground-level ozone (a chief component of smog) have precipitated a landmark shift in the Genesee Transportation Council’s transportation investment priorities. Central to these new investment priorities is the development of alternative modes of transportation, including safe and convenient bicycle and pedestrian transportation facilities. For these reasons, GTC determined the need for a cooperative trail planning effort, the Regional Trails Initiative (RTI), encompassing the entire nine-county region. Phase 1 of the Regional Trails Initiative was completed in August 2002. It focused primarily in the Transportation Management Area (TMA), which is limited to the City of Rochester, Monroe County and the urbanized areas of Livingston, Ontario and Wayne Counties. Phase 2 of the Regional Trails Initiative considers the existing and future trail needs of the entire non-TMA region (see Exhibit 1 for a map of the nine-county GTC planning region). The purpose of the Regional Trails Initiative is to develop a comprehensive and achievable action plan for community leaders to create and maintain a safe, accessible, and highly functional regional trails system that is fully integrated with the existing transportation system, and constitutes a nationally recognized distinguishing feature of this region. This Initiative will provide community leaders with both short-term and long-term recommendations as well as a framework to systematically create a regional trail system that: Provides safe, healthy, and economical transportation options for all ages, abilities, and incomes as well as close-to-home recreational opportunities, Contributes to this region’s efforts to improve air quality, and Constitutes a critical element of overall efforts to improve the attractiveness of this region and its ability to attract and retain the skilled workforce it needs to prosper. The Regional Trails Initiative defines a coordinated strategy for expanding the existing trail network at the local municipal level while supporting regional trail system connectivity and accessibility. Goals and General Recommendations have been developed to guide the improvement and expansion of this region’s trail network. Additionally, location-specific trail project recommendations have been developed. Exhibit 2/Tables 1 and 2 provide an overview existing trails and trails currently under development within the Phase 2 study area. Exhibits/Tables 3, 4, and 5 outline potential trail projects that could be developed in the Phase

  • December 13, 2013 the Honorable
    December 13, 2013 The Honorable Andrew M. Cuomo Governor of New York State NYS State Capitol Building Albany, NY 12224 Re: Dedicated Funding for Pedestrian and Bicycle Infrastructure Dear Governor Cuomo: The adoption of the Complete Streets law in 2011 has developed significant momentum for pedestrian and bicycle projects at the local level in our state. Communities across New York are eager to invest in pedestrian and bicycle projects, knowing that these projects improve their community’s quality of life, promote a healthier population, revitalize downtowns, increase real estate values and business activity, provide more equitable and affordable transportation choices, and reduce air pollution. Unfortunately, recent reductions in funding, on a state and federal level, greatly reduce the ability of communities to realize their goals. Since passage of the state’s Complete Streets law, the New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) has substantially reduced funding for pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure. Through the Statewide Transportation Improvements Program (STIP), NYSDOT plans to spend 40% less on pedestrian and bicycling-only projects across the state over the next four years – equating to a $100 million reduction over the planning period. Road and bridge projects that include a small portion of pedestrian and bicycling infrastructure will be reduced by 60% under the STIP (excluding major bridge projects like the Tappan Zee Bridge). 1 In part, lower funding for this infrastructure is the result of a 30% reduction ($12 million annually) in funding for pedestrian and bicycling projects in the most recently adopted federal transportation law, MAP-21. While the state cannot control the level of funding coming from the federal government, these reductions also stem from NYSDOT’s new Preservation First policy, which categorically excludes new pedestrian and bicycling projects from 80% of the transportation dollars spent in this state.

    APPENDIX 1. A Selection of Biodiversity Conservation Agencies & Programs A variety of state agencies and programs, in addition to the NY Natural Heritage Program, partner with OPRHP on biodiversity conservation and planning. This appendix also describes a variety of statewide and regional biodiversity conservation efforts that complement OPRHP’s work. NYS BIODIVERSITY RESEARCH INSTITUTE The New York State Biodiversity Research Institute is a state-chartered organization based in the New York State Museum who promotes the understanding and conservation of New York’s biological diversity. They administer a broad range of research, education, and information transfer programs, and oversee a competitive grants program for projects that further biodiversity stewardship and research. In 1996, the Biodiversity Research Institute approved funding for the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to undertake an ambitious inventory of its lands for rare species, rare natural communities, and the state’s best examples of common communities. The majority of inventory in state parks occurred over a five-year period, beginning in 1998 and concluding in the spring of 2003. Funding was also approved for a sixth year, which included all newly acquired state parks and several state parks that required additional attention beyond the initial inventory. Telephone: (518) 486-4845 Website: www.nysm.nysed.gov/bri/ NYS DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION The Department of Environmental Conservation’s (DEC) biodiversity conservation efforts are handled by a variety of offices with the department. Of particular note for this project are the NY Natural Heritage Program, Endangered Species Unit, and Nongame Unit (all of which are in the Division of Fish, Wildlife, & Marine Resources), and the Division of Lands & Forests.
