Bill > A04690

This bill dedicates a specific portion of state route 60 located in the town of Pomfret, Chautauqua County, to Emmaline Wilcox by adding a new section to the highway law. The dedicated segment runs from its intersection with Shumla Road to its intersection with Lakeview Road. The New York State Department of Transportation will be responsible for installing and maintaining highway signs that read "Highway Dedicated to Emmaline Wilcox". However, the bill explicitly stipulates that this is a ceremonial dedication, meaning the official route number and signage will not be fundamentally altered, and the highway's functional designation remains unchanged. The purpose appears to be honoring Emmaline Wilcox through a commemorative highway naming, which is a common practice to recognize individuals who have made significant contributions to their community. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage.
