BILL NUMBER: S8433

SPONSOR: GAUGHRAN
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of
the state highway system in the county of Nassau as the "Police Officer
Daniel J. Greer Memorial Bridge"

 
PURPOSE:

The purpose of this bill is to memorialize the bridges on Sunnyside
Boulevard in the hamlet of Plainview, crossing the Long Island Express-
way near exit 46 in the county of Nassau to each be designated and known
as the "Police Officer Daniel J. Greer Memorial Bridge".

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section One amends the highway law by adding a new section, 344-n, which
states that a portion of the state highway system will be designated as
"Police Officer Daniel J. Greer Memorial Bridge".

Section Two states that the commissioner of transportation shall provide
for the installation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state
highway system pursuant to section one of this act. To avoid confusion
and disruption of commerce, the designations shall be one of ceremonial
nature and the official name of such bridges shall not be changed as a
result of this act.

Section Three sets an effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

The purpose of this bill is to designate the Sunnyside Blvd. bridge
overpass, crossing over the Long Island Expressway in Plainview, New
York, as the "Police Officer Daniel J. Greer Memorial Bridge". Officer
Daniel J. Greer was a 13-year veteran of the Nassau County Police
Department and served with distinction. On December 16th, 1979, Officer
Greer, while assigned to the Highway Patrol Bureau, was conducting a
vehicle and traffic investigation, and was struck and killed by an
intoxicated driver who fled the scene. The subject was later apprehended
and was charged with manslaughter and driving while intoxicated.

Officer Greer gave everything he had to the Department and the citizens
of Nassau County and ultimately made the supreme sacrifice.  Officer

Greer was 44 years old and left behind a grieving wife and two children.
Office Greer was posthumously awarded the Purple Heart.
