Goodell Highway proposed District 40 Legislators Senator Kevin O’Toole and Assemblymen David Russo and Scott Rumana last week introduced legislation to rename the section of State Route 17 in Waldwick, the “Christopher Goodell Memorial Highway” in memory of the fallen hero. “The Goodell family and the police department think it’s an incredible honor,” said Police Chief Mark Messner. “Chris spent a lot of time on that highway in an effort to make it a safer place for the resi- dents of Waldwick and the motorists who were passing through,” he added. “I think this is a great honor for Police Officer Christopher Goodell. His memory of service to our community will always be remembered. His spirit of protect- ing our community will live on for all to remember,” echoed Mayor Thomas Gior- dano. “The profound sadness shared by people all across District 40 has not miti- gated since this senseless tragedy, since we all lost a true local hero and his family lost their beloved son,” explained Senator O’Toole of the decision to seek the renam- ing. “This act can instill the lasting honor that Christopher deserves in memory of his selfless service and sacrifices for us all.” Waldwick Police Officer Goodell, a former U.S. Marine, was killed in the line of duty on July 17, when a tractor trailer struck the 32-year-old while he was operat- ing radar on Route 17. The Waldwick High School graduate of 2000 was engaged to be married. “Words cannot describe the remorse everyone feels over the tragic loss of Offi- cer Goodell,” said Russo, who lives in Ridgewood. “He was the epitome of self- less public service. Commemorating his name is one way no one will ever forget the honor with which he served.” “Officer Goodell’s life was marked by service,” said Rumana. “Whether putting himself in harm’s way in the military or serving as a police officer, his life was dedicated to protecting others. His dedi- cation to keeping us safe will never be forgotten as we fittingly pay tribute to a fallen hero.” The Bergen legislators took advantage of a special session of the Legislature called by Governor Christie to address bail reform to introduce their bill, which now must be reviewed by committees of both houses and approved by the full Leg- islature before taking effect. According to the bill, signage costs will have to be borne by private donations.
