I live in Harlem and I protest any street renaming [New York, “Quinn Accused of Causing Street Names Traffic Jam,” April 16, 2008].
The battle over changing Sixth Avenue to Avenue of the Americas continues. I implore the Department of Transportation at least to give us double signs with old and new names to avoid the confusion that renaming Lenox, 7th, and 8th avenues is causing among longtime residents, visitors, tourists, and even bus drivers.
The establishment of the present street grid by early planners makes our city easy to navigate so let’s not tamper with a successful formula.
