Dedicates a portion of the state highway system to Lt. Col. Matt L. Urban

This bill designates a specific section of Walden Avenue in Lancaster, Erie County, as a ceremonial tribute to Lt. Col. Matt L. Urban. It requires the state transportation commissioner to install signs identifying the road as "Highway Dedicated to Lt. Col. Matt L Urban" while explicitly stating that the official street name will not change. The legislation clarifies that this dedication is purely honorary and does not alter the legal name of the highway to prevent confusion or commercial disruption.
