Amityville trustees commit local funds to advance federally eligible bicycle and pedestrian shared‑use path
Summary
The Village of Amityville adopted Resolution 26-03-09-01 to advance construction of a bicycle and pedestrian shared‑use path (P.I.N. 0762.04). The village committed to cover the full non‑federal share of $355,750 and appropriated $643,750 to participate in the project phase; vote was 5‑0.
The Village of Amityville Board of Trustees on March 9 adopted Resolution 26-03-09-01 to advance construction of a bicycle and pedestrian shared‑use path in the village (P.I.N. 0762.04). The minutes say the project is eligible for funding under Title 23 U.S. Code and the Marchiselli program, which the resolution describes as apportioned at an 80% federal / 20% non‑federal ratio.
The resolution, approved unanimously, states the village will advance 100% of the non‑federal share of costs identified in the resolution—listed as $355,750—and authorizes the appropriation of $643,750 from the general fund "to cover the cost of participation in the above phase of the Project," according to the minutes. The resolution also authorizes the mayor to execute agreements or reimbursement requests with the New York State Department of Transportation on the village’s behalf.
Trustee Adam Ansanelli moved the resolution and Trustee Roger Smith seconded; Mayor Michael O’Neill and the full board voted aye. The minutes say the Board will reconvene to appropriate any excess if federal or total project costs exceed the amount appropriated.
The action commits the village to provide local matching funds and to sign required documents with NYSDOT; the minutes do not specify the project timeline, contractor, or the exact design scope for the shared‑use path. Next steps listed in the resolution include filing a certified copy with the New York State Commissioner of Transportation and completing any required agreements for federal‑ and state‑aid reimbursement.
