Committee approves Senate Resolution 7 to finalize road‑naming recognitions
Summary
The House Transportation Committee approved Senate Resolution 7, a package of road‑naming dedications carried over from the Senate, and agreed to presentation plans for signage.
The House Transportation Committee approved Senate Resolution 7, a set of road‑naming dedications that the sponsor said had been carried over from the Senate and clarified to ensure each member received appropriate recognition.
Committee members noted the personal and ceremonial significance of the dedications. Representative Meeks referred to one entry honoring Corporal Dewey E. Lewis, a Korean War prisoner of war whose remains were identified by DNA and whose family received a military funeral, saying the recognition was “the most honored thing I’ve ever done and was proud to do it.”
Committee members voted by voice and hand to adopt the resolution; the transcript records an affirmative voice vote and no opposition. The chairman said GDOT had already honored at least one request by installing a sign in May and that staff would coordinate presentation of plaques and new signage.
Because SR 7 consists of ceremonial road namings rather than regulatory or budgetary proposals, the committee’s action was a formal approval of constituent recognitions and will proceed to any remaining steps for sign production and presentation.
