  The commissioner of transportation shall cooperate and consult with  the
  commissioners   of   agriculture  and  markets,  parks  and  recreation,

  for  the  cooperation  by  the department of transportation necessary to
  facilitate such review.  Such  memoranda  of  understanding  shall  also
  provide  that  the  commissioner  of  transportation shall implement any
  suggestion or recommendation made by any of such commissioners which  he
  deems  feasible  in  connection  with  the  preservation of agricultural
  lands, lands of  public  parks  and  recreational  areas,  wildlife  and
  waterfowl refuges and historical sites.
