Street renamings for Dunn, Stramka and D’Amato greenlighted by community board
Just one month after it unanimously approved street renamings for the late Maureen Stramka and Sal D’Amato, Community Board 10 greenlighted an application to rename the corner of 78th Street and Third Avenue in memory of Howie Dunn.
“The committee had heard an abundance of evidence at our previous meeting including numerous awards, certificates of commendation, newspaper clippings and letters of support for Mr. Dunn,” said Jayne Capetanakis, chair of the board’s Traffic & Transportation Committee at the full board meeting at the Norwegian Christian Home, 1250 67th Street, on Monday, February 22. “This application was unanimously approved by the committee.”
Dunn – a naval veteran who served in World War II – was known throughout southwest Brooklyn for his numerous efforts on behalf of veterans, the Boy Scouts, the American Legion and, of course, his own backyard.
