Bill > S05997

This bill dedicates a specific bridge on Eden Evans Center Road in the town of Evans, Erie County, to Maintenance Supervisor Stephen C. Ebling. The New York State Thruway Authority is required to install and maintain signage on the bridge that reads "Bridge Dedicated to Maintenance Supervisor Stephen C Ebling". However, the bill explicitly states that this is a ceremonial dedication, meaning the official name of the bridge will not be legally changed, and the designation is meant to honor Ebling without causing any potential confusion or disruption to local commerce. The act would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for the commemorative signage to be installed promptly. Such legislative dedications are a common way for state governments to recognize and remember the contributions of public servants or notable community members by naming infrastructure or parts of the state highway system in their honor.
