Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system in the town of Ellicott as the "Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Memorial Bridge"
Purpose
To recognize the historic significance of Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz to the Jamestown area by naming the bridge on Interstate 86 which crosses over North Main Street in the Town of Ellicott as the "Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Memorial Bridge."
Summary of provisions
Section 1. Adds a new subdivision (kk) to Section 342 of the highway law designating a portion of interstate route eighty-six as the "Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Memorial Bridge."
Section 2. Provides that the Commissioner of the Department of Transportation shall provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signage reflecting the ceremonial designation of this bridge as the "Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Memorial Bridge."
Justification
Next year marks the centenary of the birth of Lucille Ball, best known as the star of the television show "I Love Lucy," in Jamestown, New York, in 1911. In light of this occasion and in recognition of the enormous popularity and influence she enjoyed throughout her long career, naming this bridge near Jamestown in honor of her, and "I Love Lucy" co-star Desi Arnaz, will distinguish this area as having held a significant role in her life, while helping to promote the area as a popular tourist destination.
