The Committee on Parks and Recreation, chaired by Ty Hankerson, met to vote on two preconsidered ceremonial street co-naming bills, primarily focused on commemorating the 25th anniversary of the September 11, 2001 attacks. The bills proposed naming 33 thoroughfares and public places across all five boroughs to honor first responders, memorials, and community remembrance efforts. All votes were unanimous among the nine present members.
Note: The transcript indicates the meeting was brief, with Chair Hankerson noting the 25th anniversary of 9/11 as context for the first bill. No public testimony was heard. The agenda listed both items as preconsidered.
