Officer Timoshenko Way?
Eugene Mathieu shows he's willing to tackle the tough issues: our City Council rep has proposed co-naming Rogers Avenue between Lefferts Avenue and Sterling Street "Officer Russel Timoshenko Way."
Got an opinion? Argue it at the upcoming Community Board Meeting (Nov. 27), but call ahead of time if you want your three minutes. Personally, I think we ought to erect a statue of Jerry Bennett, the guy who saved 17-year-old bicyclist (and jazz prodigy) Melvin Brison after an SUV ran over him at the corner of Rutland and Rogers.
Interesting article about Jerry Bennett, et al, but where did Frumsource get that photo? It sure isn't Rutland & Bedford, or even New York, judging from the paint job on the police car.
As to re-naming the street, IMO it's a nice enough gesture IMO as long as Eugene doesn't try to pass it off as the equivilant of actually DOING anything of substance.

The author probably did a google image search for "car crash" or something like that.
