Bill > S08224

This bill designates the bridge over the Southern State Parkway on Deer Park Avenue between Parkdale Drive and Sylvan Road in the town of Babylon, Suffolk County, New York, as the "Trooper Gerard B. Kane and Trooper Arthur B. Reddy" bridge. The bill amends the highway law by adding a new section that officially dedicates this portion of the state highway system to these two troopers. The commissioner of transportation is required to install and maintain appropriate signage for this dedication. However, the bill specifically stipulates that this is a ceremonial designation only, meaning the official bridge name will not be changed, and the designation is intended to avoid any potential confusion or disruption to commerce. The act will take effect immediately upon passage, serving as a memorial to recognize the service of Troopers Kane and Reddy by naming a local bridge in their honor.
