There's a new effort to bring back the 'Tappan Zee' name to the bridge over the Hudson River.
Democratic Sen. James Skoufis is the main sponsor of the GOP-led bill that aims to rename the bridge by June this year.
His argument is that the change ignored centuries of history, too many concessions and that no one really calls it the Mario M. Cuomo bridge anyway.Upon passing the state Senate and assembly, and a signature from Gov. Kathy Hochul, the bridge would have its original name reinstated effective immediately.
The bridge, originally named after the Native Americans who once lived in the area, the Tappan, was built in 1955.Did the name ever really change?
