BILL NUMBER:S6237A
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system in the city of Ogdensburg as the "Trooper Shawn W. Snow Street"
Purpose or general idea of bill
To designate a portion of state highway 812 in the city of Ogdensburg as Trooper Shawn W. Snow Street as a memorial to this courageous New York State Trooper.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 designates the portion of state route 812 from state route 37 to the Ogdensburg Prescott International Bridge to be known as the "Trooper Shawn W. Snow Street".
Section 2: States that the commissioner of transportation shall provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system, and as an act of ceremonial nature the official name of such highway shall not be changed as a result of this act.
Section 3: States that this act shall take effect immediately.
Justification
New York State Trooper Shawn W. Snow tragically lost his life in August of 2008 while stopped on the Ogdensburg-Prescott International Bridge in Ogdensburg, New York. He stopped to help a Quebec man fix a flat tire on the antique fire truck he was driving. Both men died of accidental electrocution. Trooper Snow was the epitome of a devoted, hardworking New York State Trooper. Trooper Snow's dedication shall serve as a reminder of the dangers our brave law enforcement face daily while protecting and serving our communities.
