I-90_S and I-90_N should probably be edited at minimum to I-90_W and I-90_E.

If there's no overlap, you use directions of 219. No change is required.
-
The dual carriageway setup is a bit borderline Alanlandian, but I'm with neroute2. Marking solved.

Rethinking it, I was leaning towards suggesting using the Thruway exit numbers for those points as weird as it may look. It could be considered complicated since they are NYST numbers instead of I-90 numbers.

And also that they are both 55 (though the southern/western one is 55A in the I-90 file).
I-90(55A) and I-90(55) would work, as would NYST(55A) and NYST(55).

As defined by NYSDOT, there is no overlap between I-90 and US 219. US 219 runs along the outer roadway until said roadway merges into the main Thruway lanes. It's not a concurrency and the interchange with Ridge Road is with US 219. Thruway Exit 55 is really a pair of partial exits with US 219. The way TM currently shows this is close to accurate.

Given the fact that there is no concurrency, these labels make the most sense to me. Two I-90 exits where you can get on/off US 219, correct? And avoid the N/S vs. E/W confusion.

I had been a bit hesitant to use a fudged Two separate interchanges numbered... (http://travelmapping.net/devel/manual/wayptlabels.php#nextsuffix) suffix in cases like these (disambiguation or multiplexes)...
(Compare ME26 (http://travelmapping.net/hb/?r=me.me026&lat=43.677199&lon=-70.256903&zoom=15) multiplexing I-295 between Exit 8 and... also Exit 8.)
But another read thru the manual suggests that exit numbers are the right way to go, suffixes notwithstanding:
If an exit numbered highway is a cross road twice, exit numbers in parentheses can be used to distinguish them. Avoid using two designations and a parenthetical suffix in the same label.
If a non-exit-numbered highway is a cross road twice, add an underscored suffix. The direction letter refers to the relative position of the intersection along the route whose file is being made. US90_S is the southern of the two US 90 junctions along US 25, which runs S-N.
