North Hempstead Board Names Section of Essex Court 'Logan Coyle Court'

The Town of North Hempstead on Sept. 15 approved a petition to designate part of Essex Court in Port Washington as "Logan Coyle Court," the board announced after a public hearing. Rebecca Coyle, who identified herself as Logan's mother, addressed the board and described her son's impact on the neighborhood.

"My name is Rebecca Coyle, and I am Logan's mom," she said, and described how neighbors rallied around the family while Logan battled liver cancer. A second speaker tied the timing of the proposal to Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month and moved for adoption.

Board members offered condolences and support before voting. Council members and the supervisor voted in favor of the designation.

The honorary name will mark the neighborhood where Coyle's family said Logan spent his time greeting neighbors and playing at the cul-de-sac. The board did not identify a formal effective date for sign installation during the hearing.

Next steps include administrative arrangements for signage and coordination with the Port Washington tree lighting event, which officials said will be lit gold in Logan's memory.
