Queens Assemblymember David Weprin joined the family of the late Ghanwatti Boodram to rename the street after the woman, whose life was cut short after a gas explosion in her home killed her in April 2009.
During the renaming, Weprin and the family also renewed their calls for Con Ed and the Public Service Commission to improve procedures to prevent a similar tragedy like this from happening again.
“I hope this public gesture brings some solace to the Boodram family and serves as a constant reminder that our local communities cannot tolerate the actions and inaction that led to this tragic loss of life,” Weprin said. – Pete Davis
