BILL NUMBER: S9107

SPONSOR: PALUMBO
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act to amend the highway law, in relation to designating a portion of
the state highway system as the "State Trooper Clark C. Lewis Memorial
Highway"

 
PURPOSE:

To honor the life and ultimate sacrifice of New York State Police Troop-
er Clark C. Lewis by designating the portion of State Route 27 between
Shadmoor State Park and Montauk Point State Park in the town of East
Hampton, Suffolk County as the "State Trooper Clark C. Lewis Memorial
Highway".

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section one adds a new section 344-n to the highway law designating the
portion of the state highway system constituting between Shadmoor State
Park and Montauk Point State Park on Route 27 in the town of East Hamp-

ton, Suffolk County as the "State Trooper Clark C. Lewis Memorial High-
way".

Section 2 requires the commissioner of the department of transportation
to provide for the installation and maintenance of adequate signage.

Section 3 established the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

On January 19, 1936, Trooper Clark C. Lewis died instantly when his open
touring car went off Route 27 and overturned near the village of
Montauk. At the time of his death, Trooper Lewis was assigned to Beth-
page Park and to patrol Route 27. He was returning from the far eastern
section of his patrol area when the accident happened.  Trooper Lewis
was an 11-year veteran of the State Police and served in Troop B and
Troop G where he was a member of the famed Rough Riders. He was then
assigned to the Troop K Parkway Detail and was the detail when it was
reclassified as Troop L.

Trooper Lewis was a dedicated public servant and first responder and it
is fitting that we honor his life and ultimate sacrifice by naming the
portion of the state highway between Shadmoor State Park and Montauk
Point as the "State Trooper Clark C. Lewis Memorial Highway".
