Bronx resident Edgardo Luis Rivera launched a [Change.org petition](http://www.change.org/p/annabel-palma-requesting-an-honorary-street-name-for-jennifer-lopez "undefined") calling for one of the blocks in Jenny-From-the-Block’s old borough to be named in her honor. Rivera has called on “every J.Lover and fan in the world” to get the district and city councils to consider naming a street after the “Luh You Papi” singer. The New York _Daily News_ [reports](http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/bronx/lo-fan-petitions-city-bronx-street-superstar-article-1.1975857?cid=bitly&utm%5Fcontent=buffer5a365&utm%5Fmedium=social&utm%5Fsource=twitter.com&utm%5Fcampaign=NYDailyNewsTw "undefined") that Rivera wants part of Blackrock Ave., close to J.Lo’s home growing up, to adopt Lopez’s name. Rivera announced recently that actress Kristin Chenoweth is among the 1,300 “Jennifer Lopez Way” supporters, but no word yet from the city. According to the _Daily News_, the city council has been reluctant to name streets after still-living people, though exceptions have been made in the past. ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3511762/jenny-from-the-block-bronx-street-name-jlo-jennifer-lopez/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3511762/jenny-from-the-block-bronx-street-name-jlo-jennifer-lopez/"},"headline":"New York Fan Wants J.Lo Street in the Bronx","datePublished":"2014-10-16T02:01:45.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T10:49:15.854Z","description":"A New York fan is calling on \"every J.Lover in the world\" to support his effort","url":"https://time.com/3511762/jenny-from-the-block-bronx-street-name-jlo-jennifer-lopez/","keywords":["celebrities","cities"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt851741fdfcc23d85/6987610be20a870de2a827e0/jennifer-lopez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Maya Rhodan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/maya-rhodan/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt851741fdfcc23d85/6987610be20a870de2a827e0/jennifer-lopez.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Jennifer Lopez Visits Extra","caption":"Jennifer Lopez Visits Extra","creditText":"Alberto E.
