Mr. Bruce Reynolds, (1960-2001), a Port Authority police officer who on the morning of September 11, 2001 rushed from his post at the George Washington Bridge to the World Trade Center, sacrificed himself on that day to save countless others.
Bruce Reynolds was the son of J.A. Reynolds and Geri Reynolds. The family moved from Pittsburgh, PA to Inwood, NY when Bruce was five, becoming part of the fabric of the neighborhood.
After working with his father on a youth program for neighborhood children, Officer Reynolds joined the Parks Department as an Urban Ranger and then, in 1986, joined the Port Authority Police. He served there valiantly until his death on September 11, 2001.
This petition is to honor Officer Reynolds by naming the circle at the end of the street where Bruce Reynolds' father still lives, after this brave, courageous man.

Reflecting on the stories shared in the comments reminds me how deeply Bruce Reynolds remains part of the fabric of this neighborhood. These accounts of his life provide the momentum needed to ensure his sacrifice is properly honored at the circle where his family resides. I am currently coordinating with local officials to determine the next steps for a formal review.

Please do the right thing by naming the circle after this real life hero who made the ultimate sacrifce!
An excellent, compassionate Police Officer and a gentle man in every sense. It was my honor and privilege to have know. Bruce and to have served with him.

Bruce Reynolds was the type of man and police officer who would do anything for anyone, and for him, we should do the same.
