Russo, 61, was stabbed to death while on the job near her station's headquarters on Sept. 29, 2022.
Hundreds of members of the department were alongside Russo's family and friends to honor her. Hearts are still broken from the random act of violence.The ceremony began with a plaque dedication inside EMS Station 49, where she worked. It was followed by the renaming of 42nd Street between 20th and 19th avenues, which is now known as"Alison Russo Way.
"She was caring, she was thoughtful, and she was smart," Kavanagh said."She spent her time volunteering on and off duty because emergency medical work was her passion.""Her heart was amazingly huge. The time she gave to her community and the time she gave to the citizens of New York City, she still had time to be a fantastic mother," Deputy Chief Gregg Brady said.
Russo was posthumously promoted to captain. Her parents and her daughter hope the plaque and street renaming will be a reminder of her life of service.
