New York docked $14M for I Love NY highway signs

ALBANY - The federal government docked New York $14 million on Thursday for installing more than 500 I Love NY signs that violate road rules and state law.

The penalty imposed by the Federal Highway Administration is its strongest move yet to try to force the removal of the blue-and-white highway signs, which Gov. Andrew Cuomo's administration spent $8.1 million installing in recent years despite being ordered not to in 2013.

FHWA acting Administrator Brandye Hendrickson outlined the penalty in a letter Thursday to transportation officials in Cuomo's administration, giving them until Sept. 30 to remove the signs or reach a compromise.

The $14 million will be restored if the state meets the deadline, Hendrickson wrote.

"Because of the installation of more than 500 non-compliant signs and repeated notification to remove these installations, the FHWA will assess initial penalties for non-compliance effective immediately," wrote Hendrickson, who was appointed by President Donald Trump.
