Bill > A07888

This bill dedicates a portion of state route 324 in the town of Clarence, Erie County to Major Andrew D. Byers, specifically the segment beginning at its intersection with Transit Road and ending at its intersection with Main Street. The bill requires the New York State Department of Transportation to install and maintain signage indicating the highway's dedication, which will read "Highway Dedicated to Major Andrew D Byers". Importantly, the bill specifies that this dedication is ceremonial in nature and will not officially change the highway's name or cause any disruption to commercial activities. The legislation demonstrates a common practice of honoring local military service members by naming portions of highways after them, allowing communities to recognize and commemorate individual contributions to public service and national defense. The bill would take effect immediately upon passage.
