  • Chapter 8 Rail
    Chapter 8 Rail A component of the SAFETEA-LU legislation is to improve interregional and international transportation and to serve the mobility needs of people and freight. New York State’s Transportation Master Plan’s vision is to create a seamless system in which travelers can conveniently shift between modes and operators to complete trips that meet their individual and business needs. Long-Range planning efforts in Herkimer and Oneida Counties are consistent with this vision in planning transportation systems that will serve the mobility needs of people and freight. Rail transportation is an efficient way to move freight and people while saving energy, reducing air pollution, relieving traffic congestion, and reducing maintenance and repair on the highway network. Rail service in the HOCTS Planning Area consists not only of long-distance, pass-through freight movement. There are also short lines that deliver goods to local industries, passenger service provided by Amtrak at stations in Utica and Rome and the Adirondack Scenic Railroad. The use and condition of the Utica and Rome stations, the Adirondack Scenic Railroad and the implementation of high-speed rail are high priorities for the region. Recommendations made in this chapter include: the implementation of the Union Station Master Plan, elimination or correction of unsafe grade crossings, restoration of the Adirondack Scenic Railroad, and support for high-speed passenger rail service. HOCTS 8 - 1 Chapter 8 Rail Destinations 2010 - 2030 2009 New York State Rail Plan The 2009 New York State Rail Plan presents a 20-year plan (through 2030) for the state's rail system and describes strategies and initiatives aimed at rebuilding the rail transportation system.

    TUESDAY, APRIL 21, 2015 2:39 P.M. ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: The House will come to order. In the absence of clergy, let us pause for a moment of silence. (Whereupon, a moment of silence was observed.) Visitors are invited to join the members in the Pledge of Allegiance. (Whereupon, Acting Speaker Aubry led visitors and members in the Pledge of Allegiance.) A quorum being present, the Clerk will read the Journal of Monday, April 20th. Mr. Morelle MR. MORELLE: Yes, Mr. Speaker. I move to 1 NYS ASSEMBLY APRIL 21, 2015 dispense with the further reading of the Journal of Monday, April 20th and ask that the same stand approved. ACTING SPEAKER AUBRY: Without objection, so ordered. Mr. Morelle. MR. MORELLE: Yes. Good afternoon, Mr. Speaker; good afternoon, colleagues. I hope everyone enjoyed a brief respite and are anxious to get back to work here and continue our work. Before I announce our schedule for the day, let me just note a couple of historical facts about this date, April 21st, in history. For instance, Mr. Speaker, colleagues, you might find interesting that on this day in 1789, one of our nation's Founding Fathers, John Adams, was sworn in at New York City's Federal Hall as our nation's first Vice President. After serving two terms, Mr. Adams went on to serve as the second President of the United States and continued to contribute to our nation's history as a statesman. On this date in 1965, the New York City World's Fair opened in New York for its second and final season.

Over the next 10 years ENGAGE will increase cultural and creative opportunities for its 1.01 million Cortland, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga, and Oswego county residents and thousands of visitors. ENGAGE CNY, commissioned by CNY Arts and funded by a 2013 Regional Economic Development Council grant, is New York State’s first regional cultural plan and one of the few regional cultural plans in the nation. ENGAGE’s geographic reach was designed to align with our New York State Council on the Arts Decentralization geographic reach. The very process of creating this plan has already increased communication and cooperation across the region. Guided by 72 community leaders representing all six counties, an extensive eight-month campaign (July 2013 through February 2014) sought opinions and ideas through surveys, meetings, and focus groups. Community response exceeded expectations! In all, 8,806 Central New Yorker’s cared enough to offer their thinking and ideas. The extent of participation alone speaks volumes about the interest and desire to see that regional culture and creativity thrive.
