Explanation
The Public Service Department, Transportation Division, recently received a request from Ms. Adria Fields, on behalf of the Perkins Family, to rename a portion of Northgate Lane, an alley west of Sunbury Road, from Leonard Avenue to Woodward Avenue as Horace Perkins Way, in honor of Horace Perkins, their patriarch. Mr. Horace Perkins lived at 1039 Sunbury Road from 1968 until his death in 2004. He devoted many years of service to his neighborhood and the community. He was a pioneer in radio broadcasting, having worked for many year at WVKO radio station and later founding his own station at WCKX 107.5 FM. After a review it has been determined there are no houses addressed off of Northgate Lane and the renaming of this alley in honor of Mr. Horace Perkins will have no impact on the adjacent properties.
