Bill > SB36

This bill designates a portion of Germantown Avenue (State Route 4005) from West Lehigh Avenue to West Somerset Street in Philadelphia as the Leo Rosenblum Memorial Highway to honor Leo Rosenblum, a Holocaust survivor and resistance fighter who became a successful local business owner. The bill provides a detailed background on Rosenblum's life, highlighting his survival during World War II, his immigration to the United States, and his establishment of Leo's Men's and Boy's Apparel in 1954, a clothing store that has been a community cornerstone for over 70 years. The legislation requires the Department of Transportation to erect and maintain appropriate highway signs displaying the memorial highway name, and the act will take effect 60 days after its passage. The bill not only commemorates Rosenblum's personal resilience and entrepreneurial success but also recognizes his family's continued commitment to the North Philadelphia community through their longstanding business.
