Megan Charlop, the Bronx health worker and activist who died in a tragic bicycling accident two years ago, will be honored tomorrow morning during a street re-naming ceremony in Morrisania. At 10:30 a.m. tomorrow, Fulton Avenue, between 165th and 167th avenues, the street right next to Estelle Diggs Park, will be renamed Megan Charlop Way. Here’s an excerpt from the press release sent out about the event:

Sponsored by Councilwoman Helen Foster, the street renaming honors Charlop’s lifelong commitment to improving the lives of the residents of the Bronx. She first came to the Morrisania section of the Bronx in 1976 to work as a community and housing organizer. During those years, Charlop was instrumental in forming a land trust that saved this land, now Estelle Diggs Park, as a community park and garden. It is a fitting legacy to her commitment to the Bronx that over 30 years later this land has now been developed as a NYC Park.

Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. and Montefiore Medical Center President and CEO Dr. Steven Safyer (Charlop worked at Montefiore) are both expected to speak.
