Monday is Funday Post

Whilst idling away the time in traffic one day, I noticed this honorific street sign at the corner of 193rd Street and Horace Harding Expressway north of the LIE in Fresh Meadows. Curious about what "Brotherhood Lane" was named for, I tried searching online to no avail. The NYC Council votes on these co-namings, but I could not find a bill that included Brotherhood Lane. I even asked a couple of experts but they were stumped. Does anyone out in crapland have any clue about it? There's a church at the other end of the block called Heavenly Voice and a private elementary school across the street but not sure if there is a connection to either of them.

Why your neighborhood is full of Queens Crap
"The difference between dishonest and honest graft: for dishonest graft one worked solely for one's own interests, while for honest graft one pursued the interests of one's party, one's state, and one's personal interests all together." - George Washington Plunkitt

i live over there and just assumed it had to do with the jewish center it runs along.
Sounds like communists to me!
It's not listed on the website of NYC Honorary Street Names.
Feminists will now demand a "Sisterhood Lane."
Amateur job?
Since there’s a gender in the name it will probably be removed soon.
It goes back to 1974 -- who has access to the old Daily News?

Try Kevin Walsh of Forgotten NY - he may know
The Daily News:
Queens Councilman Morton Povman (D-Kew Gardens Hills) is being hailed in the community for his bill changing the name of 193d St., from Horace Harding Expressway to Peck Ave., to Brotherhood Lane in recognition of the "spirit of cooperation and brotherhood" exhibited by Catholics and Jews in the area.
I'd just assumed it had to do with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 3 down in Electchester.
