This bill is a memorial requesting the New Mexico Department of Transportation to consider naming the Roswell Bypass in honor of Nancy Lopez, a distinguished professional golfer and native of Roswell. The memorial highlights Lopez's impressive achievements in golf, including her numerous titles and accolades, such as being inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame and the Ladies Professional Golf Association Hall of Fame. It emphasizes her connection to Roswell and her role as an inspiration for future generations in sports.
The resolution calls for the official naming of the United States Highway 285 bypass, also known as the Roswell bypass, to recognize Lopez's exceptional career and contributions to women's sports. Additionally, it requests that a copy of the memorial be sent to the Secretary of Transportation to facilitate this consideration.
