Bill Summary
An act relating to transportation facility designations; providing honorary designations of certain transportation facilities in specified counties; directing the Department of Transportation to erect suitable markers; providing an effective date.
AI Summary
This bill designates several transportation facilities in different Florida counties with honorary names, specifically: International Drive in Orange County is to be named "Harris Rosen Way"; a bridge in Duval County over the Ribault River will be called the "Bernard Wilkes Ribault River Bridge"; W. South Street in Orange County will be designated "Geraldine Thompson Way"; W. Beaver Street in Duval County will be named "Harry Frisch Street"; a bridge in Monroe County over Niles Channel will become the "Jose Wejebe Bridge"; a portion of street in Hialeah (Miami-Dade County) will be called "Celia Cruz Way"; a section of N.E. 6th Avenue in Miami-Dade County will be named "Toussaint L'Ouverture Boulevard"; and S.W. 58th Street in Miami-Dade County will be designated "Sonia Castro Way". The bill directs the Florida Department of Transportation to erect suitable markers identifying these honorary transportation facility names, with the changes set to take effect on July 1, 2025. These designations appear to be meant to honor various individuals who have likely made significant contributions to their communities or have special significance to the local areas.
