A 7888 New York Assembly · 2025 Regular Session

Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Major Andrew D. Byers

This bill ceremonially dedicates a specific segment of State Route 324 in Clarence (from Transit Road to Main Street) to honor Major Andrew D. Byers. It requires the installation of signage stating "Highway Dedicated to Major Andrew D Byers" but explicitly states this is purely ceremonial, with no change to the highway's official name or potential disruption to commerce. The dedication affects the physical highway segment in Erie County, not the legal designation of the road.
