RONALD N. FLEMING, for Committee.

TO REQUEST THE DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION TO NAME THE BRIDGE SPANNING I-385 AT SECONDARY ROAD 84, STANDING SPRINGS ROAD, IN GREENVILLE COUNTY, THE "ROBERT A. 'BUD' HUBBARD MEMORIAL BRIDGE" IN MEMORY OF ROBERT 'BUD' HUBBARD A DISTINGUISHED SOUTH CAROLINIAN WHO, AMONG HIS MANY ACHIEVEMENTS AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS, PLAYED AN INSTRUMENTAL ROLE IN THE PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION OF THE SOUTHERN CONNECTOR ROADWAY IN GREENVILLE COUNTY.

Whereas, Robert A. 'Bud' Hubbard, who passed away on March 8, 1999, was, at his death, the chairman, chief executive officer, and president of Wilbur Smith Associates; and

Whereas, the company which Mr. Hubbard headed has received national and international recognition as a preeminent consulting firm in transportation engineering. It has thirty offices in the United States and five offices in other countries; and

Whereas, Mr. Hubbard spearheaded the early planning and actual construction of the Southern Connector Roadway in Greenville County. He was an ardent supporter of this important transportation infrastructure link in the prosperous Piedmont; and

Whereas, during his lifetime, Mr. Hubbard received many awards including the Distinguished Service Award from the Consulting Engineers of South Carolina in 1993 and the President's Award from the South Carolinians for Better Transportation in 1992. He was also named "Engineer of the Year" by three separate professional organizations. Mr. Hubbard served as chairman of the International Road Federation from 1995 to 1998; and

Whereas, it is fitting that the members of the General Assembly recognize the accomplishments and service of this very influential and active South Carolinian in this appropriate manner. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:

That the members of the General Assembly request the South Carolina Department of Transportation to name the bridge spanning I-385 at Secondary Road 84, Standing Springs Road, in Greenville County, the "Robert A. 'Bud' Hubbard Memorial Bridge" in memory of Robert 'Bud' Hubbard, a distinguished South Carolinian who, among his many achievements and accomplishments, played an instrumental role in the planning and construction of the Southern Connector Roadway in Greenville County and install appropriate markers or signs at places near the bridge the department considers advisable containing the words "Robert A. 'Bud' Hubbard Memorial Bridge".

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be forwarded to the Department of Transportation.
