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 Utica as the "Corey Lee Carr Memorial Bridge"
Purpose
To designate a portion of the state highway system, (the pedestrian bridge across state routes 5, 8 and 12 in the city of Utica), as the "Corey Lee Carr Memorial Bridge".
Summary of provisions
Amends the highway law by adding a new section designating the pedestrian bridge across state routes 5, 8 and 12, also known as the north-south arterial, in the city of Utica, as the "Corey Lee Carr Memorial Bridge".
Justification
On July 16, 1995, a tragedy occurred a short distance from the newly constructed pedestrian bridge that was designed to afford travelers a safe route to cross Routes 5/8/12 in the City of Utica. On that day, 13 year old Corey Lee Carr was riding his bike home and was struck and killed by a car.
Corey had an extremely bright future. He was an excellent student and a member of the Young Scholars Program at Utica College, which currently awards a scholarship each year in Corey's name. He was a member of the Community Action Teenage Prevention group whose mission is to teach community youth about HIV/Aids prevention. He was also an incredible athlete who loved basketball and always volunteered to remove snow from the court when necessary.
Because Corey lost his life in almost the same location as the pedestrian bridge, it is only fitting that this designation be made in his memory and as a symbol of why the pedestrian bridge was such an important addition to the redesign of the north-south arterial in Utica.
