Summary

Supports: (1) the protection of the name Harlem, (2) imposing limitations on the ability to change the name of a neighborhood based on economic gain, and (3) the inclusion of community input and consideration of community residents in any decision to change the name of the Harlem neighborhood in New York City. Declares that a single entity should not have jurisdiction to change the name of a neighborhood and encourages a formal and public vote as a requirement for any such change. Expresses hope that GPS manufacturers will recognize Harlem as an official destination for travelers.
