Council Staff conducts a microphone check, notes the date and recording by Simone Eno, and welcomes attendees to the NYC Council Parks and Recreation committee vote.
Staff asks everyone to silence electronic devices and tells the Chair he may begin.
Ty Hankerson identifies himself as Chair of the Committee on Parks and Recreation and thanks attendees.
Hankerson welcomes attendees to the hearing and states they will vote on proposed Intro 927A, which was considered by the committee on September 30, 2026.
Hankerson explains Intro 927A would rename Shorefront Parkway between Beach 32nd Street and Beach 56th Place as Edgemere Avenue.
Hankerson says the renaming restores the street's original historical name and resolves years of confusion, especially mail delivery.

Hankerson asks the clerk to call the roll on Intro 927A.
Committee Clerk Ben Jacobs identifies himself and announces a roll call vote on Intro 927A.
Clerk calls members; Chair Hankerson and members Krishnan, Lee, Marte, Nurse, Sanchez, Ung, Santosuosso, and Morano vote aye or yes.
Clerk thanks members, reports 11 affirmative votes, none negative, no abstentions, and declares the item adopted.
Hankerson thanks the clerk, closes the vote, and adjourns the hearing.
After adjournment, a Council Staff member remarks, "Too many things today, man."
