Yay for fiscal conservation, Patterson - they'll pay to change all those names and everybody will still call it the Triborough.
Given the contribution to New York State by Robert F. Kennedy, that pedestrian bridge that got knocked down the other day on the Bruckner Expressway is the sort of structure that should be named after him.
Patterson is obviously an idiot for signing the damn thing since at minimum at least tens of thousands of dollars will be wasted on the thing.
