The City Council is rolling out 26 new 9\/11 street and public place co-namings and urging the state to adopt 9\/11 curriculum in schools as the city prepares to mark 25 years since the attacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The proposed co-namings would stretch across all five boroughs, with a variety of new designations recalling the attacks, such as \u201cNever Forget Way\u201d in Howard Beach, Queens, \u201d \u201cEast Side 9\/11 Remembrance Way\u201d on the Upper East Side, and \u201c9\/11 Beacon Memorial Way\u201d in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn.<\/p>\n
The new names will also recognize nearby memorials, such as \u201cBrooklyn 9\/11 Wall of Remembrance Way\u201d in Coney Island and survivor organizations, such as \u201cTunnel to Towers 5K Run & Walk 9\/11 Memorial Way\u201d in Red Hook. <\/p>\n

The Tunnel to Towers co-naming recognizes the annual 5K honoring FDNY firefighter Stephen Siller, who ran through the Brooklyn-Battery Tunnel in full gear to reach the Twin Towers on Sept. 11, 2001, where he was killed in the rescue effort. Lone Pine Press for NY Post<\/p>\n
Brooklyn will get the most street namings, while Manhattan\u2019s list includes street names recognizing employees of the Marsh & McLennan company killed in the Twin Towers and FDNY units that lost members in the attacks.<\/p>\n
One particularly jarring proposed name \u2014 \u201cFresh Kills 9\/11 Recovery Heroes Way\u201d \u2014 refers to the Staten Island site where workers sifted Ground Zero debris for human remains and belongings.<\/p>\n
\u201cKills\u201d is from the Middle Dutch word kille, meaning a riverbed or water channel, according to the city\u2019s Freshkills Park history \u2014 not a reference to the recovery work itself.<\/p>\n

Speaker Julie Menin\u2019s office also launched a webpage to remember 9\/11,\u00a0with\u00a0an interactive map and additional context for each honorary street name.<\/p>\n
The co-namings passed the Council Thursday.<\/p>\n
At the same meeting the Council also adopted a resolution calling on the state to teach kids about 9\/11 at school. <\/p>\n
\u201cIts important that young people learn about the unity that persisted in our city,\u201d Menin said.<\/p>\n
