A Local Law in relation to establishing an ombudsperson within the department of transportation

Be it enacted by the Council as follows:

Section 1. The commissioner of transportation shall designate an ombudsperson whose duties shall include:

1. monitoring the progress and status of the department’s projects related to the Canarsie Tunnel closure starting in 2019;

2. establishing a system to receive comments and complaints from the public with respect to such projects; and

3. investigating such comments and complaints and taking appropriate action within a reasonable amount of time.

§ 2. This local law takes effect 120 days after it becomes law, except that the department of transportation shall take such measures as are necessary for the implementation of this local law, including the promulgation of rules, prior to such date.

§ 3. This local law expires and is deemed repealed upon the earlier of three years after it becomes law or the announcement by the metropolitan transportation authority of the restoration of regular subway passenger service in the Canarsie Tunnel, provided that the commissioner of transportation shall notify the speaker of the council upon such announcement by the metropolitan transportation authority in order that the council may maintain an accurate database of the local laws of the city.MN/JJD
