Designates a portion of the state highway system as the "Westchester Purple Heart Highway"
This bill designates a specific stretch of State Route 35 in Westchester County as the "Westchester Purple Heart Highway." The designated section runs from its intersection with U.S. Route 202 eastward to State Route 100 in the town of Somers. While the state transportation commissioner will install signs for this new name, the law explicitly states that the official route number will not change and the designation is purely ceremonial. This change affects drivers and local signage in the area but does not alter traffic laws or road infrastructure.
