Lawmakers in Rockland and Westchester counties are calling for the name of the Mario Cuomo Bridge to be changed to the name of the bridge it replaced: the Tappan Zee Bridge.
There's a renewed push to rename the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge as the Tappan Zee Bridge.
Legislation to do just that has been introduced by Republicans in recent years but has thus far failed to gain enough traction. This year, however, according to the New York Post, the measure has the backing of Democratic State Senator James Skoufis of Orange County, who will become the first-ever Democratic lead sponsor for the legislation in the Senate.
When the $4 billion Hudson River span opened in 2018 alongside the remnants of the aging Tappan Zee, Gov. Andrew Cuomo formally named the new bridge after his father. But after Cuomo's resignation amid sexual misconduct allegations, the measure has seen growing support among state lawmakers to change the name.
