Bill > S05643

This bill designates a specific portion of state route 22 in Mount Vernon, Westchester County, as the "Dwight 'Heavy D' Myers Way", honoring the late rapper and actor Dwight Myers (known professionally as Heavy D) who was from Mount Vernon. The bill amends the highway law by adding a new section that officially names the stretch of highway between Lorraine Avenue and Lincoln Avenue in his memory. The New York State Department of Transportation is required to install and maintain appropriate signage for this commemorative designation, with the understanding that this is a ceremonial naming and will not alter the official highway route or cause any commercial disruption. The bill will take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for quick implementation of the honorary highway designation.
