S 5997 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Maintenance Supervisor Stephen C. Ebling

This bill (S 5997) names a specific bridge on Eden Evans Center Road in Erie County (crossing the New York State Thruway) as "Bridge Dedicated to Maintenance Supervisor Stephen C. Ebling" for ceremonial purposes. It requires the installation of signage honoring Stephen C. Ebling but explicitly states this does not change the bridge's official name or affect its operation. The dedication is purely symbolic, with no impact on highway maintenance, commerce, or official records.
