N.Y. Transportation Corporations Law § 107: Use of streets; municipal consent

§ 107. Use of streets; municipal consent. Every such freight terminal

corporation may acquire, use and enjoy the privilege to cross or

otherwise use the streets adjacent to any terminal way or terminal

station with the consent and on such terms as may be imposed by the

local authority in control thereof, and subject to the approval of the

commissioner of transportation. If such approval be granted, the

commissioner of transportation shall issue a certificate (1) that such

privilege is needed for public use; (2) that the exercise of such

privilege will leave the street in the main available for ordinary

street uses; and (3) that the exercise of such privilege will enhance

and improve the service afforded by such street to the public. Such

privilege shall be revocable by the city on such notice, not exceeding

one year, as may be specified therein; but such revocation shall not be

effective unless the commissioner of transportation approve of the same

and certify that such privilege is no longer needed for public use or

that the exercise of such privilege has failed to enhance or improve the

service afforded by such street to the public.
