(A republished rant from back in June)
New York's governor David Patterson is expected to sign the bill renaming the Triborough Bridge to the Robert F. Kennedy bridge.
For 72 years New Yorkers have known the bridge as the Triborough. Why change now? Can't they name something else (something new) for Mr. Kennedy?
In recent years New York renamed the Interboro parkway after Jackie Robinson (which stuck) and the West Side Highway as the Joe DiMaggio Highway (which didn't). People seem to have bought into "Newark Liberty Airport's" rechristening.
What is the expense to change all the signs? Besides, this bridge already has a name.
The DCS recommends a heavy NO on this renaming.
