Designates a portion of the state highway system as the Peter Wheeler Memorial Bridge
This bill officially designates a specific bridge on State Route 34-B in Tompkins County as the "Peter Wheeler Memorial Bridge." The legislation requires the Department of Transportation to install new signs identifying the bridge with this name while clarifying that the official legal name of the bridge remains unchanged to prevent confusion. The change is purely ceremonial and does not alter the bridge's function or impact on commerce.
