Street re-namings for fallen officers get green light
They will never be forgotten.
The City Council voted on Thursday, January 22 in favor of Introduction 620 – a bill that will see 56 thoroughfares and public places in the city co-named in honor of local residents, including ones for Detectives Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos.
Liu, a 32-year-old newlywed from Bensonhurst, and Ramos, a 40-year-old Sunset Park native, husband and father of two, were shot at point-blank range in their marked NYPD car on Saturday, December 20.
