New York enacts the community gridlock prevention act, requiring land use actions to include an intersection and emergency services response time.

The community gridlock prevention act amends the transportation law by requiring all land use actions to include a study of the impact on intersections and emergency services response times. This study must be conducted in addition to any existing environmental assessment or impact statement requirements. The study area includes a one-mile radius around the proposed land use action. The study must assess the level of service at each intersection and the additional delay in seconds, particularly during rush hour.
