Changes the official name of the Staten Island Expressway to the POW-MIA Memorial Highway
This bill officially renames the Staten Island Expressway to the "POW-MIA Memorial Highway" to honor prisoners of war and missing in action service members. The change applies specifically to the stretch of Route 440 and Route 278 located in Richmond County, which connects the Goethals Bridge to the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge. In addition to the name change, the legislation updates related state highway laws and city administrative codes to reflect the new designation in official records.
