Bravo. While it’s not quite as retro, Avenue of the Americas will always be 6th Avenue, the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge is still the 59th Street Bridge, the RFK is still the Triboro and the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel is still the Battery.

Only question now is, why are Democrats all suddenly knifing Cuomo in the back?

oh boy...they are going to cancel the whole Cuomo family.

Let the name of Cuomo be stricken from every book and tablet, stricken from all pylons and obelisks, stricken from every monument of New York. Let the name of Cuomo be unheard and unspoken, erased from the memory of men for all time.

Cuomo isn’t left-wing enough for the RAT party.

Also, the RATS who think they are presidential contenders want Cuomo out of the way.

Prince Andrew would have named it after himself but his Brother talked him out of it.

Considering the engineering problems I would not consider taking this structure. (Chinese fastners??)

https://www.timesunion.com/news/article/mario-cuomo-bridge-structural-problems-covered-up-15594755.php

“ALBANY — A high-strength bolt snapped at the threads as an ironworker, Jimmy Jordan, used a torque wrench to tighten it into a steel plate connecting two massive girders. A piece of the broken bolt bounced off an overhang and split his lip open as he looked up.

It was January 2016, and Jordan was part of the team constructing the Tappan Zee Bridge replacement at the project’s main assembly site along the Hudson River in the Port of Coeymans, about 100 miles north of the bridge. Construction of the $3.9 billion twin span, which would ultimately be named after Gov. Mario M. Cuomo, had been under way for a little more than two years when Jordan’s injury led to a series of revelations that would call into question the new bridge’s structural safety.

It would emerge that dozens of bolts had similarly broken at the port assembly site, an abnormally high number that indicated the potential for a very serious problem. Bolts also had been breaking on the assembled girders loaded onto barges, and even on some pieces already installed at the bridge — including some more than a year after they had been tightened into the plates that hold the girders together.”
