MAYOR MICHAEL R. BLOOMBERG SIGNS LEGISLATION NAMING 77 STREETS

Remarks by Mayor Bloomberg at a Public Hearing on Local Law

"The last bill before me is Introductory Number 565, sponsored by Council Members Addabbo Jr., Speaker Miller, and Council Members Avella, Baez, Brewer, Comrie, Felder, Fidler, Gentile, Gerson, Jackson, Katz, Liu, Lopez, Martinez, McMahon, Monserrate, Quinn, Recchia, Jr., Rivera, Sanders, Jr., Serrano, Yassky, Weprin, Gallagher, Lanza and Oddo.

"This bill renames seventy-seven thoroughfares and public places throughout the City. The first 52 names that I will read are streets or thoroughfares renamed in honor of those who died on September 11th. Even though over two years have passed since that tragic event, this action, although a modest gesture, will let it be known that the City will never forget those who perished that day.

"I will now read the first 52 names of civilians and firefighters who died on September 11th.
