Road to The Ralph Will be Named 'Timothy J. Russert Highway'
A road to the Ralph will be renamed in honor of Tim Russert.
The US House of Representatives has approved a measure to rename a portion of Route 20A near Ralph Wilson Stadium after the Buffalo native and avid Bills fan. The Senate gave its OK late last month. The bill is now on its way to President Bush for his signature.
US Senators Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton, along with Congressman Brian Higgins, proposed the renaming shortly after Russert died of a heart attack last month. Following the House vote, Higgins said it's a "fitting remembrance of a man, who after all his success, never forgot his hometown."
The stretch of Route 20A between Abbott Road and California Road in Orchard Park will be designated as the "Timothy J. Russert Highway."
