Committee on Parks and Recreation
TL;DR
The Committee on Parks and Recreation introduced two local laws to rename 26 thoroughfares and public places across all five boroughs as 9/11 memorials, and to rename 7 additional locations including memorials to notable community members. These are introductions of the proposed laws, meaning they advance to the next stage of the legislative process for further consideration.
