The effort to designate part of Wyoming Highway 120 in honor of the late state senator failed in the Wyoming Senate by a five-vote margin.
House Bill 135 failed to pass in the Wyoming Senate. This ends the attempt to memorialize late Park County Senator Hank Coe on Wyoming Highway 120, according to Wyoming Public Media.
Senator Coe passed away on Jan. 21 at the age of 74. He served Cody and Park County as the Senator of District 18 for over three decades.
The bill sought to designate a section of the highway between Thermopolis and the Wyoming/Montana border in Senator Coe’s honor. WYDOT would install $2,800 worth of signs along the Hank Coe Leadership Highway if it passed.
