“We ask the mayor and the New York City Council to rename Fifth Avenue in honor of the former president, many of whose achievements include: saving our country from the Great Recession; two presidential terms without a single scandal; the liquidation of al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden, who was behind the terrorist attacks of September 11 of 2001 in New York, ”writes petition creator Elizabeth Rowin.

The petition demands that all buildings between the 56 and 57 streets on Fifth Avenue be renamed. If the campaign is successful, the new Trump Tower address will be: "725 Avenue of President Barack Obama."

In May, Los Angeles renamed the Rodeo Road section in honor of the 44 president, and the creator of the petition on MoveOn.org hopes that New York will follow. The petition addressed to Mayor Bill de Blasio and the city council has already been signed by over 444 thousand people.

The petition is by link.

Rowin said that she decided to create a petition back in December, and the reason for creating the petition was a joke that she saw on Twitter. “I thought it was a great idea, and probably no one was going to do anything about it, so I did "Said Elizabeth to CBS News.

“I really didn't think there was a chance this could happen,” says Rowin, who lives in Los Angeles. “I think that people now feel helpless, and this is a way to troll him,” she said about President Trump.

At the same time, in New York there is a ban on renaming streets in honor of living people. The author of the petition, however, considers this prohibition “insignificant”.

On the subject: Where did the names of the most famous streets of New York come from?

“There are two streets in Los Angeles named after Obama. Therefore, there is no reason New York could not have done the same. ”

Speaker Corey Johnson believes this is not the best way to honor the president.

“I’m sure that we can find a better way to honor the former president than trolling the current president,” the City Council spokeswoman said in an official statement.

The office of the mayor de Blasio agreed. “We are always happy that New Yorkers are finding creative solutions for resistance,” Avery Cohen, deputy spokeswoman, told CBS News. “Ultimately, we will give the council the opportunity to determine how this should happen.”
