S 8880 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to 2LT Edward Dixon Neal

This bill dedicates a specific bridge on New York State Route 20A over Tonawanda Creek (bridge #1016130 in Sheldon, Wyoming County) to 2LT Edward Dixon Neal through ceremonial signage. The commissioner of transportation must install and maintain signs stating "Bridge Dedicated to 2LT Edward Dixon Neal," but the bridge's official name remains unchanged. The dedication is explicitly described as ceremonial with no impact on official highway designations or commerce. This is a commemorative measure honoring an individual, not a policy change affecting laws or regulations.
