BILL NUMBER: S8688

SPONSOR: THOMAS
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of
the state highway system as the "Trooper John J. Lane Memorial Bridge"

 
PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL:

Designates a portion of the state highway system as the "Trooper John J.
Lane Memorial Bridge."

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1: The highway law is amended by adding a new section 344-n,
which designates a portion of the state highway system to be designated
as the "Trooper John J. Lane Memorial Bridge." All that portion of the
state highway system constituting the bridge on Merritts Road over the
Bethpage state parkway in the Town of Oyster Bay, county of Nassau,
shall be designated and known as the "Trooper John J. Lane Memorial
Bridge".

Section 2: The commissioner of transportation shall provide for the
installation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway
system as designated pursuant to section one of this act. However, to
avoid confusion and to limit any possible disruption of commerce, the
designation called for pursuant to section one of this act shall be one
of ceremonial nature and the official name of such bridge shall not be
changed as a result of this act.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Trooper Lane died instantly when he fell over a stairway rail and landed
on his head at the Bethpage Troop Barracks as he was interviewing an
area patrolman concerning vandalism to construction equipment on the
Wantagh Parkway.  Trooper Lane was a United States Army veteran of World
War I and had served with the New York State Police for six years.
Trooper Lane was honored with Laney the K9 named after him for his dedi-
cated service to the New York State Police. Laney the K9 served in
Narcotics Detection and Handler Protection.
