BoA City Services and Environmental Policy Committee 6/4/2026

The Board of Alders City Services and Environmental Policy Committee met on June 4, 2026, primarily to consider two corner naming proposals in New Haven, Connecticut. The first item was to designate the corner of Bishop Street and State Street as Bob Fu Corner, honoring Bob Fu's significant contributions to community revitalization, historic preservation, and neighborhood development, particularly on State Street. The committee heard extensive public testimony highlighting Fu's civic leadership and impact. The second item was to rename the corner of College and Elm Street as John Wilhelm Corner, recognizing John Wilhelm's work as a union organizer and labor advocate. Both items included motions to amend the signage locations and were supported unanimously by the committee. While the meeting focused on community recognition and historical commemoration, no procurement, contracting, or budgetary decisions were discussed.
