TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE OVER THOMPSON CREEK IN THE TOWN OF CHESTERFIELD ON HIGHWAY 13-243 AS THE "BUCHANAN BRIDGE" AND TO ERECT APPROPRIATE MARKERS OR SIGNS AT THE BRIDGE CONTAINING THE WORDS "BUCHANAN BRIDGE".
Whereas, the road in the Town of Chesterfield leading to the bridge over Thompson Creek, Highway 13-243, is North Craig Street/Buchanan Bridge Road and accordingly, this bridge has been historically known as the "Buchanan Bridge"; and
Whereas, this street and hence the "Buchanan Bridge" was named for a prominent local family that has made innumerable contributions to the Town of Chesterfield, including the wonderful care given to the people of Chesterfield by Dr.'s William and Jerry Perry who are distinguished members of this family and who have faithfully served this community for many years. Now, therefore,
Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
That the members of the South Carolina General Assembly, by this resolution, request the Department of Transportation to name the bridge over Thompson Creek in the Town of Chesterfield on Highway 13-243 as the "Buchanan Bridge" and to erect appropriate markers or signs at the bridge containing the words "Buchanan Bridge".
Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
