BILL NUMBER: S7764

SPONSOR: MYRIE
 
TITLE OF BILL:

An act directing the metropolitan transportation authority and the New
York city transit authority to rename the Utica Avenue subway station to
the Malcolm X Boulevard-Utica Avenue station; and provides for the
repeal of such provisions upon expiration thereof

 
PURPOSE:

Malcolm X Boulevard intersects with the Utica Avenue subway station
along the A train line in Brooklyn. In recognition of Malcolm X's
profound legacy and the significance of this location, this bill is
renaming the station to Malcolm X Boulevard-Utica Avenue Station in his
honor.

 
SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS:

Section 1 renames the Utica Avenue subway station on the IND Fulton
Street Line to Malcolm X Boulevard-Utica Avenue station.

Section 2 provides the effective date.

 
JUSTIFICATION:

Malcolm X was a visionary leader whose scholarship, educational advoca-
cy, and commitment to Black economic independence, discipline, and self-
determination have profoundly shaped our society. Renaming the Utica
Avenue subway station to Malcolm X Boulevard-Utica Avenue Station honors
a figure who continues to inspire future generations.  This proposal
complements ongoing efforts to support Black-owned businesses along
Malcolm X Boulevard and to integrate cultural recognition into New
York's infrastructure. With a ridership that is predominantly African
American, Caribbean, and Continental African-as well as other communi-
ties of color, this renaming serves as a powerful affirmation of Malcolm
X's contributions to Black liberation, economic empowerment, and social
justice.

 
LEGISLATIVE HISTORY:

New Bill.

 
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:

To be determined.

 
EFFECTIVE DATE:
This act shall take effect immediately and shall expire and be deemed
repealed after the signs and any other items are accurately updated.
