BILL NUMBER:S6594A
Title of bill
An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of the state highway system in Greene county as the "Honorable Donald Olson Memorial Highway"
Purpose or general idea of bill
This bill relates to designating a portion of State Route 23 as the "Honorable Donald Olson Memorial Highway".
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 amends the Highway Law by adding a new Section 344-bb so that an approximate 2.5 mile portion of the state highway system, constituting State Route 23, between Old Road and Brooksburg Road (County Route 65) in Greene County, shall be designated and known as the "Honorable Donald Olson Memorial Highway".
Section 2 of the bill states the Commissioner of Transportation shall provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signing of the state highway system. The designation of this highway shall be one of ceremonial nature and the official name of such highway shall not be changed as a result of this act.
Justification
Mr. Donald Olson died tragically in an automobile accident in the Town of Windham on Thursday, May 9, 2013. He was a retired clerk of the Greene County Legislature, longtime Prattsville Town Justice and a former volunteer firefighter with Prattsville Hose Company for over 25 years. At the time of his death, Mr. Olson was the hose company's chairman and commissioner.
A portion of the state highway system, which is to be designated and known as the "Honorable Donald Olson Memorial Highway", will serve as a reminder to us all of the dedication, selflessness and honor which Mr. Olson showed throughout his tenure in public service and all of his civic endeavors.
