Senator Jim Tedisco’s (R,C-Ballston Lake) today announced that the Governor has signed into law his legislation to honor the late Saratoga Springs Assemblyman Bobby D’Andrea.

Tedisco’s bipartisan legislation (S.8348) that he passed in the Senate dedicates state Route 9P crossing Interstate 87 on the Union Avenue gateway into Saratoga Springs to Assemblyman D’Andrea, who passed away at the age of 92 in March 2025.

D’Andrea was an active participant in his community as an entrepreneur who owned and operated the Kaydeross Amusement Park for 30 years, a county supervisor representing Saratoga Springs, the president of the Principessa Elena Society, the director of the Saratoga Lake Association, the chair of the Fort Hudson Foundation, the president of the United Community Fund and the president of the Saratoga County Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease. He represented the city of Saratoga Springs, the Saratoga County towns of Wilton, Moreau, Corinth, Saratoga, and Northumberland, and all of Washington County in the New York State Assembly for an incredible 14 terms, from 1974 to his retirement in 2001.

“Assemblyman Bobby D’Andrea was a good friend and an outstanding and dedicated public servant who was always accessible and visible to his constituents and a strong voice for them. I was proud to have served with Bobby in the Assembly and work to get this bill passed for his family and remember his legacy of service to others,” said Senator Jim Tedisco.

Assemblywoman Carrie Woerner sponsored the bill in the Assembly.
