It was a long-awaited move and the motion was finally voted on by the New York Council on May 10 to have the stretch of Church Avenue renamed.
The Bob Marley Foundation, in a release, said they are "very pleased and truly thankful for the love shown to this great Jamaican by Jamaicans living at home and abroad, and by so many persons worldwide. This latest honour bestowed on Bob Marley by naming Church Avenue, Bob Marley Boulevard, is another manifestation of love and respect for this great Jamaican."
