An obvious benefit – less Thruway signage needed, people will know when they are approaching their exit at least heading Westbound.
At least Schenectady is easier to spell than Skahnéhtati, the proper spelling.
I propose translating the city’s name to English for all official communications: “Beyond the Pines”, NY.
Another benefit to the renaming the city to it’s English name is it will make it easier for people to locate it on a map, especially those heading Westbound on the Thruway.
