Ed Salvinski (1921–1984) was a community activist and member of the Woodhaven Residents' Block Association who organized cleanups and worked to improve lighting and safety in Forest Park. Born in Greenpoint on December 26, 1921, he was a World War II Army veteran who moved to the area just south of Forest Park in Woodhaven in 1949. Following Salvinski's death in 1984, Councilman Arthur Katzman proposed renaming Baby Carriage Lane—one of Salvinski's favorite spots—in his honor. Mayor Ed Koch signed the bill in October 1984, and the street sign was unveiled on February 2, 1985. The sign soon disappeared and, despite multiple efforts, was not reinstalled until 2021.
