Bill > S04630

This bill designates a specific portion of the Southern State Parkway in Suffolk County, New York, as the "Sergeant Gregory Wahl Memorial Highway". The segment runs between Sagtikos Parkway and state route 111 in the town of Islip. The bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to install and maintain appropriate signage to mark this memorial highway. However, the bill specifically stipulates that this designation is purely ceremonial and will not change the official highway routing or cause any disruption to commerce. The highway naming appears to be a way to honor Sergeant Gregory Wahl, likely a local servicemember or first responder, by memorializing his name on this stretch of roadway. The act would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt implementation of the highway designation.
