Bill Summary
By Mr. Cutler of Pembroke, a petition (subject to Joint Rule 12) of Josh S. Cutler that the Congress Street bridge spanning Route 3 in Duxbury be designated as the Cora Wilburn bridge. Transportation.
AI Summary
This bill proposes to designate the Congress Street bridge spanning Route 3 in Duxbury as the Cora Wilburn Bridge, in honor of Cora Wilburn, a poet, essayist, and author recognized as one of the most prolific Jewish American women writers of her time. Wilburn, who was born Henrietta Pulfermacher, emigrated to the United States in 1848 after living in France and Venezuela, and her autobiographical novel published in 1860 was the first coming-of-age novel to depict the Jewish community in the United States. The bill requires the Massachusetts Department of Transportation to erect and maintain suitable markers bearing this designation in compliance with the department's standards.
