Panel Votes To Rename Frontage Rd. For MLK

Martin Luther King was headed towards sharing a hyphen with Judge John Dixwell. Then Erin Sturgis-Pascale had a vision: she saw North Frontage Road as a long MLK Boulevard “spine,” with cross-street “ribs” named for local African-American leaders.

Sturgis-Pascale’s “spine” suggestion helped convince an aldermanic committee resolve a question that has divided people in town: which, if any, major artery to rename after the late civil Rights leader.

At a City Hall meeting Thursday night, the Board of Aldermen’s City Services and Environmental Policy Committee voted unanimously in favor of the proposal by Alderwoman Sturgis-Pascale. It took two other proposals, and considerable debate, to get there.

At issue was West River Alderman Yusuf Shah’s proposal to rename a city street after King. He embraced the “spine” suggestion Thursday night as a solution in the spirit of “Martin Luther King bringing people together.”

Originally, Shah’s proposal named Whalley Avenue as the street that should bear the civil rights leader’s name. But, responding to feedback from residents and the City Plan Commission, Shah approved a new proposal from Newhallville Alderwoman Katrina Jones on Thursday night, that Dixwell Avenue be re-named instead of Whalley.

But this idea also met some resistance. A compromise was proposed: let Dixwell and MLK both be on the street signs, with a hyphen in between the names.

That’s when Fair Haven’s Sturgis-Pascale, chair of the committee, had her brainstorm.

Instead of “Dixwell-MLK Avenue,” Sturgis-Pascale said, why not rename North Frontage Road after the civil rights leader and look into renaming the cross-streets after local African-American leaders? Martin Luther King Boulevard would then form a “spine” with “ribs” named after city heroes. This rib cage would serve to “knit together” the Dwight and Hill neighborhoods, binding them together with local and national history.

The idea appealed to the committee, which then voted unanimously to advise the full Board of Aldermen to rename North Frontage Road the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Junior Boulevard. Committee members will look into the feasibility of renaming cross streets in honor of local African-American leaders. The renamings will need final approval by the full Board of Aldermen.

Sturgis-Pascale’s “spine” suggestion came at the end of a lengthy meeting in which the committee heard opinions from a number of interested parties, with multiple perspectives on the renaming issue.

Newhallville Alderman Charles Blango (at left in photo) opened up the discussion with a spirited history lesson on the legacy of Judge John Dixwell as well as on the African-American community in New Haven.

Judge Dixwell — along with Judges Whalley and Goffe — was one of the “regicides,” judges who signed the death warrant of King Charles in 1649. The judges were later pursued by British soldiers and took refuge in New Haven, tying themselves forever to the city’s history.

After reciting this bit of history, Blango went on to cite the accomplishments of local African Americans. He mentioned the Dixwell Avenue Congregational Church, the oldest black congregational church in the country. He spoke of the historic Dixwell “Q” House, the first black girl scout troop, and of Edward Bouchet, the first black graduate of Yale University. This history is often overlooked, Blango said.

“I just don’t want New Haven to close their eyes,” Blango said later, “and act like we haven’t contributed.”

“No disrespect to the regicides,” Yusuf Shah (at right in photo) said, picking up where Blango left off. “Not only did we have to run for cover, we had to create an underground railroad.”

“There is no legislation that says that you can’t change the names of streets,” he said.

Shah accepted a friendly amendment from Alderwoman Jones that changed his proposal that Whalley be renamed to a proposal that Dixwell be renamed. Jones presented the committee with a petition signed by “hundreds” of Dixwell residents requesting a name change.

Former Westville Alderwoman Nancy Ahern stepped forward to speak against the change, with an appeal to the historical significance of the three judges. In particular, Ahearn said, Judge Dixwell should be remembered since Dixwell was the only one of the three to live out his life in New Haven. He is buried in the green behind Center Church. To take the avenue away from Dixwell would be an “extraordinary violation,” Ahern said.

“This piece of history is part of who we are,” she said. “Dixwell Avenue means something so very special to those of us who love New Haven and rejoice in its special history.”

“For over 300 years we have recognized John Dixwell for his patriotism,” former Mayor John Daniels said, “and we should continue to honor and preserve that history.”

Daniels proposed a hyphenated “Whalley-MLK Avenue” moniker for the street. “That does not take away from the history of Dixwell,” he said. “It adds to it.”

Later, during the committee’s deliberation, Beaver Hills Alderman Carl Goldfield brought up the notion of renaming a less historical street: North Frontage Road. “It’s a dull name,” he said. “A no-name.”

Goldfield said that although Frontage Road is largely unoccupied now, it is poised to become “a major thoroughfare.”

“My preference would be for Frontage,” Goldfield said.

“The taxpayers on Dixwell have spoken,” Shah said, referring to the petition. “To disregard that and go to Frontage Road doesn’t send a clear message…. I believe when 500 people sign something, something should happen.”

Then came Sturgis-Pascale’s idea: why not name North Frontage for Dr. King and rename its cross streets for local historical figures? She described it as a “spine of Dr. Martin Luther King and these ribs coming off of it of local African-American leaders.”

It would be a way of “knitting together” the Dwight and Hill neighborhoods, Sturgis-Pascale said.

“Let’s do this bigger,” she said excitedly. “Let’s think bigger about this!”

Alderman Shah mentioned that it would be less expensive to change North Frontage’s name, since there are not yet residences or businesses that have that name as an address. If Dixwell Avenue were renamed, all businesses and homes would need to change their addresses, all residents would need to get new drivers’ licenses.

“To change the name of Frontage can be done instantly,” Shah said. “It’ll cost nobody anything.”

Sturgis-Pascale volunteered to work on efforts to organize the renaming of cross-streets by holding community meetings. “What a powerful statement” the re-namings could be, she said, to “counteract the island” between Dwight and the Hill. Blango offered to work with Sturgis-Pascale on the effort.

The committee voted unanimously to advise the Board of Aldermen to make the name change.

“I’m excited. I’m elated,” Shah said, after the meeting. He predicted that the Board of Aldermen would pass the name change easily. “It’s a new beginning,” he said. “This is very, very nice.”

Word On The Street

On Thursday afternoon, before the meeting, passersby near the Air Rights parking garage on North Frontage Road had mixed views on the idea of renaming the street after Dr. King.

Mansa Bethea, a 32-year-old New Haven native, was against it. With a black president, it’s time to move on, he argued.

“Let’s get past that. We’re all the same color inside,” said Bethea, who asked not to be photographed due to unwanted publicity caused by a 2006 appearance on “The People’s Court” TV show.

Furthermore, Bethea argued, North Frontage is not a black neighborhood. “I’m probably the first black dude to come through here in the last 15 minutes,” he said.

“When most black people come through here, they’re more aware of the Yale Police and the New Haven police than the name of the street,” he said. “This is a street for Yale.”

“I think it should stay the same,” said passerby Roy, who declined to give his surname.

“It’s always been that way,” Roy said. “North Frontage must mean something.”

“It’s cool with me,” Yale medical student Matt Kruse (at right in photo) said about the name change. But they’ll have to change the name of South Frontage too, “otherwise I’ll be upset about the lack of parallel structure,” he added.

“I mean, it’s fine,” said med student Chike Eseonu (at left). “But I don’t see what’s so special about North Frontage.”

I think renaming North Frontage Road is a good idea for MLK. I think renaming other streets like Whalley and Dixwell is very bad. These streets are already named after local heros/ How can you take their names off a street or hyphanate them? Its not right to just erase there history.

Posted by: Kevin G. Ewing | July 17, 2009 9:23 AM

I like the idea of renaming Frontage Road to MLK though I'm not thrilled at making it a Blvd. A boulevard is a wide street or thoroughfare. Many residents of West River, the Hill and Dwight who have tirelessly been working with City Plan these last several years as the Rt 34 Re-use Committee (as part of the West River NRZ) want to take away the 'highway to nowhere' and turn it back into a 'complete' city street. Across the country Frontage Roads suggest an outlying road to a highway.

Though the area is currently made up of mostly temporary parking lots, there are plans in the works to reintegrate it back into the neighborhoods and turn it back into a place for PEOPLE not just cars. Our vision is to see people living and working there in the next few years. Further, we see this highly developable land as an opportunity for local residents to own and operate businesses and property.

The corridor currently houses the UN/New Haven International Peace Garden at West River. We have plans for a center at Orchard (an intersection of the Hill, Dwight and West River neighborhoods) that will be used for Entrepreneurial, Cultural and Community activities - further re-knitting the three communities. Our usage plans fall in line with the vision of a united country so eloquently espoused by the late Dr. Martin Luther King. Renaming cross streets after local heroes is icing on the cake.

Good work folks. West River will happily work with you on this effort.

Rev. Kevin G. Ewing, President
West River Neighborhood Services Corporation

Jeez . . Just change the name of North Frontage Road and be done with it . . Enough time has been wasted on Alderman Shah's little pet projects.

First it was a series of ludicrous and uncontrolled public hearings launched because the alderman had an unhappy encounter with a New Haven police officer.

Next, a misguided proposal to put a memorial of some sort on the green.

Now we're being asked, by another alder who's climbed on Shah's bandwagon, to believe that renaming streets will make a "powerful statement" and knit neighborhoods together.

Really?

Why are voters putting up with this nonsense?

Posted by: Walt | July 17, 2009 9:43 AM

Not a bad idea re Dr. King, but reserving the side streets for "Black leaders" seems BS.

Must we have a Shah Street to make him happy, or a Kinney or Kimbro or the troublesome Fire Commissioner Court, or a Sturgis-Pascale Circle.?

"Dr. Smith Drive" might be OK or "Ed Grant Gulch" or " Bob Bowles Boulevard" or even "Chuck Turner Circle" but many other so-called "Black leaders" being honored. would be irksome IMHO.

If you are going to do it, honor only old-time black leaders who have earned the accolades.

For what it's worth, NHI commenter Norton Street broached the North Frontage Road idea -- sans "ribs" -- in the comments on this article (http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/2009/05/shah_make_whall.php) back in May.

Posted by: Rep. Pat Dillon | July 17, 2009 10:24 AM

It's not clear what is meant by the spine and the ribs, or who the BOA has in mind for future honors.
Constance Baker Motley, the first African American woman in United States history to serve as a federal judge, has a street already named for her. It is a very small street in the Waverly St area parallel to Frontage Road.
Her story is an inspiration. Segregation was legal in this country when she was growing up, yet with the support of New Haven people she went to college and law school. Later she became a judge. Today, one can guess what she faced as an African American and also as a woman. But she also had support and strong mentors.
.
Motley was a litigator for the NAACP on the Brown vs Board of Education case, working under Thurgood Marshall. LBJ nominated her to be a federal judge, but Southern "Dixiecrats" opposed her. So LBJ held up all the Southern judgeships until she was approved by the Senate, and so the Senate approved her.
She was a pioneer with a national profile, but she was New Haven.
She was active at Q House as a teen, and belonged to St. Luke's. Her sister lived on University Place, and she returned here often. When we dedicated the street, she was emotional, and said she had been honored all over the world yet very little in New Haven at that point. She passed away a few years ago.
If the BOA is planning to identify certain individuals as "leaders" in the future, that will be a challenge, but hopefully they will be getting a lot of input.
A woman with national stature and a place in history will, I hope, not be overshadowed in the process.

As a resident of Dwight St. and as an individual involved in the neighborhood effort to develop a vision for the Route 34 Plan of Development, our representatives should be looking beyond the issues of names if they want to restore the connection between neighborhoods.
There is a huge scar here that was caused by the creation of North and South Frontage roads and it needs to be healed.
We will more deeply honor Dr King and his legacy by developing an area that will re-connect the Hill, West River and the Dwight neighborhoods.

Posted by: JSJ | July 17, 2009 10:39 AM

Note to Matt Kruse: South Frontage Road is actually Legion Ave., the only remnant of the legendary immigrant neighborhood that was razed in the 1950's to make way for the highway extension that was never built (now occupied by the "Air Rights" garage, Pfizer and lots of parking lots).

I respect Alderman Shah's quest to keep Dr. King's legacy alive in the hearts and minds of New Haven's youth, but the (I hope) unintentional message I perceive is that it's perfectly legitimate to commandeer an existing public space when you feel your cause is justified; that a community has some right to officially tag "their" street if they have consensus.

Dr. King's legacy is important, along with the those of all who furthered civl rights, human rights and every other great cause that empowers disadvantaged souls. But ultimately, this great leader's legacy should not be cheapened by simply stamping his name on a street, a school or a shopping mall. Rather his ideals should be furthered through educating young minds, confronting internal and external issues that perpetuate destructive cycles and actually doing the hard work to realize Dr. King's ideals. This is much more difficult than printing up street signs!

I just took a few moments to re-read Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. I found nothing there to indicate that he ever spent a moment dreaming of having a street re-named for him. Let's keep it real, okay?

Posted by: cba | July 17, 2009 10:40 AM

I think that State Street should be renamed for Dr. King because it is main thoroughfare and not some afterthought of a side street. This would allow the the other historical figures to retain their honors.

Posted by: anon | July 17, 2009 11:01 AM

Renaming a boulevard with deadly speeders, piles of toxic brake dust, no sidewalks and incredibly high air pollution after a wonderful civil rights leader?

Is that supposed to be a joke? Or are the Aldermen trying to improve our environmental civil rights record by renaming the road and hoping the DOT will be more likely to fix it that way?

Please fix our traffic and pollution first, then worry about the names. It doesn't matter whether you rename Dixwell, Whalley or Frontage, they are all horrific roads that are literally killing our children.

Maybe we should think of our city infrastructure department more holistically, and rename it the "MLK Department of Environmental Justice"? They need to stop sugar-coating the issues or blaming the state for all our problems here, and start working on some real solutions to improving our community's welfare.

Posted by: GCMann | July 17, 2009 11:04 AM

Renaming N.Frontage for Dr. King is a great idea. Why not rename S.Frontage and throw in the Oak St connector as well. But the cross-street idea is foolish and will raise the same problems as the Dixwell/Whalley idea. Are we really going to change the names of streets that were part of the original nine squares? And what about Roger Sherman and Ella Grasso?

Posted by: anon | July 17, 2009 11:36 AM

"We will more deeply honor Dr King and his legacy by developing an area that will re-connect the Hill, West River and the Dwight neighborhoods."

I agree, Pat! Instead of a boulevard, how about a "Dr. King Square" surrounded by cafes, locally owned shops and an arcade, and anchored by a school... or a "Dr. King Mews" narrow pedestrianized street with playscapes, fountains, splash pads, and a library lined with cafes, breakfast joints and outdoor seating (like Nica's on Orange St.)? Either of these would be true meeting places, bringing people together.

Of course, both of these scenarios are highly unlikely if the deadly 50MPH truck highway through the center of the neighborhood is kept in its current configuration.

Posted by: lance | July 17, 2009 11:45 AM

Kind of ironic that we now have our own Charles I in Barack Obama.

MLK was a great man, and by renaming frontage the legacy of some other historic figure like dixwell isn't being slighted.

Posted by: Ned | July 17, 2009 11:52 AM

I like the sound of "Cancer Alley", in honor of the new cancer center. Maybe "Asthma Boulevard" or "Particulate Emissions Way"? "Speed Lane" or "Asphalt Street" also seem appropriate.

Posted by: Norton Street | July 17, 2009 11:57 AM

Why in the world would they vote to rename it now, the city is rushing to change the route 34 corridor, they should have waited til after the final plan was OKed then named whatever remnants of North Frontage were left after MLK Jr. And it certainly is not a Blvd, its one way! Naming a disgusting sack of crap road like North Frontage after MLK BEFORE plans are finalized is ridiculous, we needed to make sure that this would be changed to a vibrant city street with shops and housing.
A name change doesn't knit together neighborhoods over night, it can be a preliminary step in establishing a connection in the future but it by no means will accomplish that task by itself.
Agreeing with JSJ, Legion Ave should continue further east to get rid of South Frontage Road and become the Avenue that it is supposed to be. Having a one way road named an Avenue is so idiotic...yikes.

Don't forget to name a few of those cross streets after the white Jewish leaders of the civil rights movement -- Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel who marched with King, Henry Moskowitz, Kivie Kaplan, Arnie Aronson. ...

I'm okay with the name change for Frontage Road.
Seems as though the governing bodies in this state seem to do that best, naming or re-naming something, whether it's a road or a bridge or even a street corner. "Your tax dollars at work." These are the same people who declared New Haven a nuclear-free zone, so be warned, Kim Jong-Ill; you've been put on notice. Now the Board can concentrate their energies on that most pressing matter of how many chickens a household may have.

Church Street would be the best choice.

Posted by: ELD4676 | July 17, 2009 1:55 PM

Renaming North Frontage to MLK is a great idea! Glad to hear they are backing away from renaming Whalley or Dixwell. Both Whalley and Dixwell are prominent figures in New Haven history, and should be honored. Changing the names of those avenues would seem disrespectful in regards to the founding and development of New Haven.

Posted by: anon | July 17, 2009 1:57 PM

No, Streever, the road literally kills - change it, and people stop dying. Have you read lately about downtown Seoul?

Why don't we just rename the whole city. Maybe people will be fooled into think something better is happing her in OLD NEW HAVE then the the decline of a once nice city to live in.

Posted by: Norton Street | July 17, 2009 4:49 PM

Jon Doe,
Frontage roads run parallel to an elevated or separated highway to serve as access roads to the highway. In New Haven, North and South Frontage Roads we meant for the same purpose. So for the last 50-60 years those streets have been named after something that was never there: a highway. Is it really so objectionable to name a street after a person rather than something that is nonexistent?
Also, unless you're name is being withheld because of a court order or you are in fact a corpse typing from the grave, you might want to change your posting name.

This once great city to live in was ruined by infrastructure and economic decisions made in the 40s and 50s as well as national trends to accommodate automobiles into cities. Also nationally, the decentralization and deindustrialization of American urban centers assured that migrants from the south and immigrants from the Caribbean region wouldn't be welcomed with countless unskilled jobs like European immigrants were a half-century earlier. And the neighborhoods they moved into, were the discarded housing of a newly suburbanized generation of former city dwellers. Among countless other reasons, those are some of the big ones.

What is the expected real value for the investment of "re-knitting" the two neighborhoods on either side of the former Rt-34 connector project? Grand sounding themes aside, what exactly would such a project produce in tangible benefits to the city?

Posted by: whatever | July 17, 2009 5:27 PM

Last board meeting, Ald. Shaw wore a hat, says it was for religious purposes. Now he doesn't. What gives?

Posted by: anon | July 17, 2009 5:53 PM

NFJ: That's a good question. Maybe you should start your search for an answer by asking some of the folks who have been working on that project for more than 30 years why they are spending their time on it.

Posted by: City Haller | July 17, 2009 6:52 PM

Mayor for life Johnny Boy will be retiring in 30 years. The BOA had better start debating what street they will name after him and what to call it. They are usually that slow with anything that takes initiative or when they are not told what to do by Johnny Boy.

Posted by: Jack | July 17, 2009 10:56 PM

Sounds like a fine idea, as long as they name the spine streets after real local African-American leaders,not local political hacks. I don't know about anyone else, but I just love Streever and Anon, they always put a smile on my face.You guys rule!

Steve Ross,

This is the other Steve Ross. How should we differentiate? Perhaps you can be 'Mr. Steve Ross #1' and I can remain the 'Steve Ross'! Or I can be 'Stephen Ross!!!' and you can be the 'Steve Ross'. Perhaps we should decide by age. I am 32, bicentennial baby born year of the dragon (watch out)!!

Really. This vexes me.

I teacher summer school, and one of my students' reactions was, "What are they trying to say? It's a road that leads nowhere!"

On a more serious note, I agree with Kevin Ewing. Could we call it "MLK Avenue" or perhaps "MLK Drive?"

Posted by: anon | July 19, 2009 2:07 PM

I disagree, figuratively. Your argument is that predator drones don't literally kill people, the physical forces in the detonations that they release do. Or that cancer doesn't literally kill, shock, blood loss and dehydration do. Or that Bhopal didn't literally kill people, the choking of people on the thick fumes did. Whether the deaths are direct or indirect, which itself could be argued, some roads do literally kill a disproportionate number of the residents around them. Fix them so they contribute to the health of our neighborhoods, not destroy them.

Good idea, let's do it and be done with it. Time to move on to more pressing issues namely high taxes, high crime, very poor road maintenance, etc. I've had enough of this feel good legislation, let's move on and try to fix things in our City.

Posted by: patricia kane | July 20, 2009 8:06 AM

Anon's vision is definitely the one that the community is working towards. Yes, let's have our version of Wooster Square, complete with smaller neighborhood parks, like Rainbow Park, to keep us in touch with nature, as well as help to improve the air quality. But human scale residential and commercial development would also bring jobs, affordable housing and an increase to the tax base in a way that large, impersonal buildings that empty at night do not.
Jane Jacobs got it right in "Death and Life of Great American Cities".
Create a liveable city and jobs in the neighborhood? Yes we can!

Posted by: Alphonse Credenza | July 20, 2009 11:46 AM

Once again the City panders to a demand in support of racial identity.

Let us instead see the leaders who find it so easy to change a street name improve the well-being of the communities they purport to lead.

Posted by: anon | July 20, 2009 2:57 PM

Not just jobs, but also good housing, community centers, parks and schools in the area (these all being unlikely unless the area is made more livable).

Then the people who work there can live nearby, rather than have to drive to one of the city's new 1,000 car parking garage (also known as "smokestacks") every day.

One has to ask why with all the Cancer Center development, probably the biggest such development in the nation, there's no housing being built in this area for all the new employees. Is it because walking from the Cancer Center down the 60 mile per hour, sidewalk-less Route 34 truck highway is so unpleasant? Are they trying to use the increased traffic to generate more cancer patients in the area, as Ned has suggested? Why no market demand?

Here's an idea....I am all for renaming Frontage Road on honor of MLK, but lets name all the side roads after OTHER notable Republicans!

Posted by: Pedro d'Ibazo | July 21, 2009 2:44 AM

I can't believe these people waste so much time debating such a meaningless issue. Just amazingly frustrating. Yes, MLK was a good man. But what connection did he have with New Haven? And New Haven and CT didn't have segregation and "colored" fountains in the 50s and 60s. Isn't this just throwing a bone to identity-obsessed black "leaders"? There are so many people linked to New Haven. I think a city should reflect its own history.
