Bill to name Canonsburg bridge for Bashioum advances
The state Senate Transportation Committee on Wednesday unanimously approved a bill that would name the Central Avenue Bridge in Canonsburg as the Officer Scott L. Bashioum Memorial Bridge.
H.B 103, introduced by state Rep. Brandon Neuman, D-North Strabane, was approved unanimously in the House in February and now heads to the full Senate for consideration.
Bashioum, 52, was slain Nov. 10 responding to a domestic violence report in the borough. Bashioum was a seven-year veteran of the Canonsburg police force and a 29-year U.S. Air Force veteran.
