Bill > S08453

This bill proposes to dedicate a specific walking path on the northbound side of the Wantagh State Parkway, stretching from Route 27 to Jerusalem Avenue in the hamlet of Wantagh, town of Hempstead, Nassau County, to William Cornell. The New York State Commissioner of Transportation is required to install and maintain signs identifying this section as the "William Cornell memorial trail". Importantly, the bill specifies that this is a ceremonial dedication, meaning the official name of the walking trail will not be substantively changed, and the designation is intended to avoid any potential disruption to commerce. The act would take effect immediately upon passage, allowing for prompt recognition of William Cornell through this highway segment naming.
