How About ‘Park Place’ Instead of ‘Park Avenue’?

Update: Mayor and Council table discussion of that possibility for Martha Washington Way at the governing body’s executive session Thursday.

Update/Editor's Note: After this article was published, the Fort Lee Mayor and Council tabled discussion of the name change at Thursday's executive session. With the Redevelopment Area 5 approval process continuing and the Fort Lee Planning Board holding ongoing public hearings, one of the issues that has prompted debate—perhaps surprisingly so to some—is the potential renaming of Martha Washington Way, a road named by Fort Lee students in a contest several years ago.

Borough May Change ‘Martha Washington Way’ to ‘Park Avenue’

The developer of the eastern half of Redevelopment Area 5 made the request, and borough officials are leaning toward granting it.

A request by Fort Lee Redevelopment Associates (FLRA) that officials rename a road that borders the East parcel of Redevelopment Area 5 is likely to meet with borough approval. But the potential name change requested by the developer whose plan to build two 47-story residential towers was recently approved by the Fort Lee Planning Board is not without its critics. The issue was up for discussion at the executive session of the Fort Lee Mayor and Council Thursday, and if comments by members of the governing body are any indication, Martha Washington Way will soon become Park Avenue. “Interestingly, this request has spurred more debate than quite frankly I thought it would,” said Fort Lee Mayor Mark Sokolich, noting that such a change would …
