I don't see a problem naming the bridge after RFK. There would be a problem with EMK.

The idea of naming a bridge after someone who had nothing to do with it is pretty silly. If they're going to name it for someone, they should name it for this guy:

Othmar Amman

He designed the thing.

They'll still call it the Triborough Bridge when it's renamed; so who gives a shit.

RFK's been dead for 40 years. How about something more appropriate like maybe, the "9/11 Memorial Bridge", if they really need to rename it at all.

Yeah, and they renamed that space center in Florida after one of the Kennedy's. I'm guessing this will ultimately produce the same general result.

I have no problem with a Kennedy Bridge. It will serve as a constant reminder of Teddy's act of manslaughter.

Not to be crass, but other than get assassinated while running for office what did he do to merit having anything besides his kids named for him?
