A street co-naming event for Little Bangladesh Way was held in Ozone Park last week at the corner of Drew Street and 101st Avenue.

The Bangladeshi community in Ozone Park celebrated the acknowledgement of its community with a street co-naming ceremony last Friday to dub the corner of Drew Street and 101st Avenue Little Bangladesh Way.

“For 70 years, the Bangladeshi community has been living in the Ozone Park City Line area without much recognition,” said Mohammad Khan, executive director of the Cityline Ozone Park Civilian Patrol. “We have hundreds of homes, businesses, employees and so many opportunities that the Bangladeshi community has been providing here in City Line, Ozone Park. And finally, I must say, we have our own identity with this street naming.”
