Street to be named after Woodside activist

By Jyoti Thottam

On the street corner where he lived, in the neighborhood to which he dedicated his life, there will soon be a permanent memorial to the man known as the mayor of Woodside.

Ed Fowley, the Woodside civic activist who died on Nov. 18 at the age of 73, will be remembered with a sign on 57th Street between Woodside Avenue and 39th Avenue in Woodside. The members of Community Board 2, which serves the area, voted unanimously to approve the sign last week.
