Bill > S07764

This bill directs the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA), a public benefit corporation responsible for public transit in New York City, to rename the Utica Avenue subway station located in Bedford-Stuyvesant to "Malcolm X Boulevard-Utica Avenue station" on the A and C subway lines. The renaming will occur only after sufficient funds have been specifically committed for this purpose. The MTA is required to update all signs and associated items to accurately reflect the new station name. The bill will take effect immediately and will be considered repealed once the station signage and related materials are updated. Upon completion of the renaming, the MTA's chief executive officer or the New York City Transit Authority's president must notify the legislative bill drafting commission to ensure accurate record-keeping of state laws. This bill appears to be a symbolic gesture to honor Malcolm X by prominently featuring his name in a neighborhood with significant historical and cultural importance to the African American community.
