Judge Philip Minardo ruled Thursday that Oddo is allowed to name the streets whatever he wants, despite the developer complaining that the names chosen by the borough president — Cupidity Drive, Fourberie Lane and
Avidity Place — are «derogatory.»
For the new streets, Oddo chose Cupidity Drive, which means inordinate desire for wealth; Fourberie Lane, defined as trickery and deception; and
Avidity Place, derived from avidita, meaning greed.
In a decision issued Thursday, Judge Philip Minardo ruled Oddo has the authority to pick street names of his choosing, despite a complaint from the developer, Savo Brothers, that the three he chose — Cupidity Drive, Fourberie Lane and
Avidity Place — are «derogatory,» according to court papers.
