Advocates seeking to co-name a portion of Utica Avenue to “Guyana Avenue” are settling for a shorter-than-proposed stretch of road, after members of Community Board 18 rejected their proposal at this month’s meeting.

Members of the Utica Co-naming Committee originally proposed that a three-mile stretch of Utica Ave (from Eastern Parkway to Avenue H) be co-named after the Caribbean state to celebrate the achievements of the Guyanese community in Brooklyn.

That passes through three different community boards — 9, 17 and 18.
