The Yonkers City Council adopted a resolution on Nov. 12, 2025, honorarily renaming Ravine Avenue and Union Place as Sadie Oliver Way.

Majority Whip Deanna Norman presented the item and described the family and community’s effort to secure signatures and complete the renaming process. Norman said she and family members had worked hard to prepare the petition and asked colleagues for their support: “I am extremely excited that the time has finally come to present this to you all. We have been working really, really hard. The family has been working really hard.”

An unnamed councilmember also spoke in support, recalling community memories and praising Oliver’s hands-on neighborhood leadership: “If I had any doubts about this, the gentleman got up and talked about how she closed the street down, and they could play baseball… God bless Sadie Oliver.”

The Council closed the discussion and the deputy clerk recorded the vote as adopted 6 to 0. The resolution is honorary; the meeting record does not detail follow-up municipal actions such as new signage timelines or maintenance responsibilities.
