Bill > SB119

This bill proposes to designate a specific stretch of U.S. Route 36 in Delaware County, Ohio, as the "Freedom Parkway." Specifically, the eastbound and westbound lanes between Interstate 71 and South Galena Road will be officially named Freedom Parkway, in addition to its existing route designation. The Ohio Department of Transportation's director is authorized to install highway markers along this route to indicate its new name. This type of legislative action is common for honoring significant people, events, or concepts by naming transportation infrastructure, though in this case no specific reason for the name is provided in the bill text. The bill would accomplish this by adding a new section (5534.967) to the Ohio Revised Code, which is the official compilation of state laws.
