Signing. NY has done the same to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. The name was changed overnight. So outrageous. King Cuomo has to go. He is passing draconian laws.

The name has been dishonored by his son and historically it is the Tappen Zee. Keep it that way.

Not using Tappan Zee in the name is just confusing given that is what EVERYONE calls it and the change wasted a lot of money on new signage. Using the BOTH the Tappan Zee name and the honoree name worked for the last bridge. It will work for the new one. The politicians' resistance to the compromise is unreasonable, stupid and a brazen example of nepotism. In the end, it does not seem to be much of an honor for Mario Cuomo given the people do not support it.
