DavidWeprinLegislation-1-1

The corner of 67th Avenue and 192nd Street in Fresh Meadows, Queens will be co-named in honor of the late Sylvia Weprin, the matriarch of a political family that includes incumbent state Assemblymember David Weprin and the pol’s two predecessors in the seat: his brother Mark and father Saul.

The Weprins lived in an apartment at the intersection for about 30 years. This corner is among 129 co-namings that were recently approved by City Council.

Sylvia Weprin, the mother of David and Mark and husband of Saul, died last October at the age of 92, and was remembered as the rock of one of Queens’ most prominent political families.
