New York's top transportation official will travel to Washington next month to discuss an ongoing dispute with federal officials over the state's highway welcome centers and roadside "I Love NY" signs.
Federal officials say the signs violate signage rules and could distract motorists. Federal authorities are also concerned that the state-run Taste NY stores in highway welcome centers may run afoul of rules governing commercial activity at rest-stops.
A top level Federal Highway Administration official is scheduled to meet with state DOT Commissioner Matt Driscoll next month to discuss the conflict.
