CURRENTLY TRENDING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, CO-NAMING, RE-NAMING---STREETS FOR VETERANS, ETC.

So much chatter, not enough time, and we'd rather garden and bake today...and will...but for the moment:

Back in February, the blog was asked about, in so many words, to clarify some confusion about street CO-NAMING--which is NOT the same as RE-NAMING.

As many of you know by now, the village has "co-NAMED" a street for playwright Lorraine Hansberry. There seems to be some confusion about this actually means....for the record:

Street co‑naming—sometimes called honorary street naming—is mostly a ceremonial act. It adds an additional name to a street sign to honor a person, group, or event, but it does not replace the legal street name. Because of that, the legal ramifications are minimal. PER AN AI PROGRAM (AND YOU SHOULD ALWAYS TRIPLE CHECK WITH LOCAL AUTHORITIES) here’s how New York municipalities describe the practice:

What “co‑naming” legally means---Across New York communities, including NYC and nearby villages, co‑naming is treated as symbolic----the original street name remains the official, legal address used for:

--Mail and package delivery
--Emergency services
--Property records
--Utility accounts
--Legal documents

In short, the co‑name is an honorary designation added on a second sign, usually beneath the official one and is rarely referred to again. All further comments and questions should really go to village officials. And no, property owners in the area will not have to change all their legal documents, etc.

Traditionally, however, streets are re-named here---for veterans who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

Discussion of Hansberry's political leanings are best served elsewhere.
