Bill > A04287

This bill designates a specific portion of New York State Route 27, located between Flatbush Avenue and Albany Avenue in the East Flatbush neighborhood of Kings County, as the "Dr. John Flateau Memorial Highway". The bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to install and maintain appropriate signage indicating this honorary designation. Importantly, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial naming and will not formally change the official route name or cause any disruption to commerce or transportation. The highway segment will continue to function exactly as it has, with the new name serving as a memorial tribute, presumably to honor Dr. John Flateau, though the bill does not provide details about his specific contributions or significance. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, and the memorial highway designation will be implemented through official state highway signage.
