Bill > S07942

This bill dedicates a specific portion of State Route 42 in the town of Fallsburg, Sullivan County, to Lieutenant Roland "The Gator" Ward. The dedicated section runs from the intersection of State Route 42 and Railroad Plaza to 5286-5288 Main Street. The bill instructs the commissioner of transportation to install and maintain appropriate signage for this dedication. However, the bill emphasizes that this is a ceremonial designation and will not result in an official name change for the highway or cause any disruption to local commerce. The purpose appears to be honoring Lt. Ward, likely a local veteran or community hero, by recognizing him through this highway dedication. The legislation will take effect immediately upon passage.
