Committee: Committee on Parks and Recreation
The Committee on Parks and Recreation, chaired by Council Member Ty Hankerson, convened to vote on two preconsidered ceremonial co-naming bills marking the 25th anniversary of September 11. The first bill would ceremonially co-name 26 thoroughfares and public places honoring firehouses, first responders, community memorials, and acts of commemoration from that day. The second would supplement a recent co-naming bill with seven additional thoroughfares and public places, including "Champions Way" honoring the 2026 champion Knicks, and make small technical corrections to previous co-namings. The chair urged colleagues to vote in favor of both bills. The transcript ends during the roll call and does not state the outcome of the vote.
