A few years ago, Edgecomb Avenue and Parkview Avenue in the Sanz-Klausenburg section of Oak and Vine were renamed Shefa Chaim Drive and Kiryas Sanz Avenue.
Coming Next: Gorlitz Avenue
The Township Committee is set today to introduce on first reading Ordinance 2024-033.
The proposed Ordinance will rename Clyde Avenue And Argyle Avenue between Oak Street And Turin Avenue (as shown in the map below) to Gorlitz Avenue.
Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 40-67-1(k), et seq., the governing body of a municipality may make ordinances to provide for the changing of names of streets within the municipality. Moreover, pursuant to Lakewood Ordinance 18-814G, no street shall have a name that so nearly duplicates the name of an existing street so that confusion results.
"Rabbi Mordechai Rosenberg, on behalf of the local community, has recognized that the portions of these street names may conflict and cause confusion with already existing streets in Lakewood Township, and has therefore asked that the street names be changed to Gorlitz Avenue," the proposed Ordinance states.
Accordingly, "the Township Committee of the Township of Lakewood deems it fitting and appropriate to change the name of a portion of Halsey Street, and all of Clyde Avenue and Argyle Avenue between Oak Street and Turin Avenue to Gorlitz Avenue."
It is unclear if the Township Committee is notifying our local first responders of this street name change. In the past, the fire department was dispatched to Parkview Avenue even after it was already renamed.
The Committee will hold a public hearing and final reading of the Ordinance at their next meeting.
Grand Rabbi Boruch Halberstam of Gorlitz (1829-1906) was the son of Grand Rabbi Chaim Halberstam of Sanz (1793–1876), author of Divrei Chaim and founder of the Sanz Hasidic dynasty.
The founding leaders of the Klausenburger dynasty are descendants of the Divrei Chaim.
